This is how the pronunciation of a word usually appears in a dictionary:
- immediately following the entry: pronunciation is found immediately after the word you are looking uo
- within parentheses: the pronunciation will be given in brackets, or parentheses
- with an accent mark: the accent is used to show which syllable is stressed
I'm not sure what you mean by usually respelled, but the pronunciation in brackets does have a distinct way of spelling, so maybe that is correct as well.
A is incorrect because the pronunciation is found after the word, not before it; E is also incorrect because the type of the word (noun, verb, adjective, etc) is written in italics, but not the pronunciation.
