Choose the correct pronunciation for the Hangeul syllable.

Question

To assess the pronunciations, I will examine what each option would correspond to in Hangul phonology.
Option a: 'ngi' would imply a syllable starting with an 'n' sound followed by a 'gi' element. In Hangul, there is no standard syllable that combines an initial 'n' sound and a 'gi' vowel to yield 'ngi' in this simple form, so this is unlikely as the correct pronunciation.
Option b: 'ng' represents a final consonant-only sound. A hangul syllable must have at least a vowel component; a pure 'ng' without a preceding vowel isn’t a standalone syllable in Hangul, so this cannot be the correct full syllable pronunciation.
Option c: 'i' corresponds to a vowel sound by itself, but Hangul syllables always pair a vowel with an initial consonant (even if that initial consonant is the null initial). Without the accompanying vowel context, 'i' alone cannot be the complete syllable pronunciation here.
Option d: 'ing' captures the typical pronunciation for a syllable composed of the vowel sound corresponding to 'i' and a final consonant 'ng' (Hangul form 잉). In the standard depiction, a syllable like 잉 is pronounced 'ing', making this the correct full syllable pronunciation.
Overall, the incorrect choices misrepresent the structure of Hangul syllables (which require a vowel and may include a final consonant) or misstate the resulting sound, whereas 'ing' aligns with the actual pronunciation of a syllable such as 잉. The reasoning hinges on understanding that Hangul syllables combine initial, vowel, and optional final elements to yield a complete phonetic unit, not just a fragment like 'ng' or 'i'.
