D) Thermometer

A cool test to count syllables is to put your hand an inch or soon below your chin. Say the word slowly and count how many times your chin drops onto your hand.

Spaghetti has three syllables - your chin would touch your hand three times

Elephant also has three syllables

Mountain has two syllables - your chin would touch your hand two times

Thermometer has four syllables - your chin would touch your hand four times

Household has two syllables
