What is the defining characteristic of complementary distribution for allophones of a phoneme?

• They have identical phonetic properties

• They never appear in the same environment.

• They can appear in any environment freely.

• They influence the meaning of a word.

In some English dialects, final alveolar stops /t/ and /d/ can be replaced by a glottal stop /ʔ/. The word "cat" might be pronounced with /kæt/ or /kæʔ/. This is an example of:

• Free variation

• complementary distribution

• contranstive distribution

• phoneme merger

The labiodental fricatives /f/ and /v/ are allophones of the same phoneme in many languages. In English, /f/ appears word-initially ("fish") and before voiceless consonants ("deaf"), while /v/ appears word-medially ("five") and before voiced consonants ("dove"). This is an example of:

• Free variation

• complementary distribution

• phoneme merger

• contrastive distribution

Two allophones are in complementary distribution if they appear in:

• The same environment and change word meaning

• The same environment without changing word meaning

• Different environments in a predictable way

• Different environments with no clear pattern
  

Vowel flapping, where /ɪ/ can sound like /ə/ in casual speech, is an example of:

• Free variation

• Complementary distribution

• Contrastive distribution

• Phoneme merger
