The answer is "a. table".

False cognates are sets of words that appear to be cognates as a result of comparative sounds and significance, yet have distinctive derivations; they can be inside a similar dialect or from various dialects.

A Spanish word that is like an English word, yet has an alternate significance, is known as a false cognate.
