Final answer:

The correctly spelled open-syllable words are 'resent' and 'profile'. The other options are either not open syllables or misspelled.

Step-by-step explanation:

The open-syllable words spelled correctly from the list provided are A. resent and D. profile. An open syllable occurs when the syllable ends with a vowel, which typically makes a long vowel sound. 'Resent' and 'profile' fit this description, as they end with the vowels 'e' and 'i' respectively, which are pronounced with their long vowel sounds. The other words listed either do not end with open syllables or are misspelled, as in the cases of 'comit', which should be spelled 'commit', and 'linon', which should be 'linen'.
