Explanation:
The correct answer is C. dogged.


- C. dogged has the "g" pronounced as a hard "g" sound, /ɡ/, as in dogged (/ˈdɒɡɪd/ or /ˈdɔːɡɪd/), meaning determined or persistent.

- In A. dodge, B. doge, and D. drudge, the "g" is pronounced as a soft "g" sound, /dʒ/, as in dodge (/dɒdʒ/), doge (/doʊdʒ/), and drudge (/drʌdʒ/).

Thus, C. dogged is pronounced differently from the others.
