Final answer:

The word with an open syllable from the options provided is 'Resign'. In 'resign', the first syllable 're-' is open because it ends in a vowel that is not followed by a consonant.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word with an open syllable is Resign (D). An open syllable ends with a vowel, and the vowel often has a long sound because it is not followed by a consonant within the same syllable. In the word 'resign', the syllable 're-' ends with the vowel 'e' and is not immediately followed by a consonant, making it an open syllable.

When underlining the letters that represent the /b/ sound in the provided list of words, the letters 'b' in each word would be underlined as follows:

  • able
  • scribble
  • resemble
  • pebble
  • tremble
  • noble
  • gamble
  • bubble
