Final answer:

The word 'wind' can be matched with a synonym such as 'breeze,' 'zephyr,' 'puff,' or 'gust,' all of which relate to air movement but have different intensities or contexts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to match the word wind with its synonym. All the options given a) breeze, b) zephyr, c) puff, and d) gust are related to the wind but in different intensities or contexts.

The most general synonym for wind is breeze, which refers to a gentle wind. A zephyr also refers to a soft, gentle breeze, typically considered even milder than a breeze.

A puff is a short, sudden burst or emission of wind, air, smoke, etc. A gust, on the other hand, is a brief, strong rush of wind. So, any of these could be said to match the word wind depending on the context.
