The correct answer is E. 

"Homos" means the same, so homonyms are words that look the same but have different meanings. 

A is incorrect because "connate" is an adjective that means united.
B is incorrect because "cognate" is a word that comes from the same root as another word.
C is incorrect because "synonyms" are words that have similar meanings.
D is incorrect because "antonyms" are words that have opposing meanings.

The correct answer is actually cognates. I believe the other answerer misread the question
