What are "sea" and "see" classified as?

Synonyms
Homophones
Antonyms
Heteronyms

The correct answer is: Homophones

"Sea" and "see" are classified as homophones because they are words that sound alike but have different meanings and spellings. Homophones often cause confusion in both writing and speaking, as they can be easily mistaken for one another due to their identical pronunciation. In the case of "sea," it refers to a large body of saltwater, while "see" is a verb meaning to perceive with the eyes. This distinction in meaning, paired with their similar sound, is the hallmark of homophones.
