Final answer:

The question pertains to the percentage of English words where a particular sound is spelled correctly except for usually one vowel. The correct answer is '99%' since it is mentioned that the sound [t] is accurately spelled as or about 99% of the time, which is close but not quite 100% accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems to be related to phonics or orthography, the study of the system and patterns for representing spoken language in written form.

Therefore, I would infer that the student is asking about the percentage of words in English where a particular sound (phoneme) is spelled accurately except for one speech sound, which is usually a vowel.

Based on the statements given, for some sounds or letters such as [p], the accurate spelling using or is almost 100% of the time.

Similarly, sounds like [t] are spelled as or about 99% of the time.

Considering that the question asks about accurate spelling with one phoneme typically being off, the correct answer would have to be less than 100% but fairly high.

Among the options provided, the best choice would be '99%' as it aligns with the examples such as where the sound [t] is spelled correctly in terms like tree about 99 times out of a hundred.
