In the question, 'pike' refers to a weapon formation. Option (a) uses 'pike' as a type of fish, which is a true homonym (same word, completely different meaning). Options b, c, d refer to the weapon itself. (प्रश्न में 'pike' एक हथियार/सैन्य व्यवस्था है। विकल्प [a] में 'pike' एक मछली की प्रजाति के रूप में प्रयुक्त हुआ है, जो इसका वास्तविक समनाम [homonym] है।)
