Answer: c)

Explanation:

The word that we have in your question ''friend's'' is starting with the blend Fr such as words: frame, frond, freeze, from, frost, free, fresh, frank and more.

This kind of blend is called consonant blend or consonant cluster which is considering two or three consonants (letters) in one word that are making a sound of a distinct consonant.

After the word ''friend's'' we have ''blended'' word which is the word ''new+born".
