Let me solve this step by step by looking at each picture and matching it with the correct word and vowel sound.

First, I'll examine each row carefully.

Row 1 (splatter image):
- Picture: a brown splatter (like mud or paint)
- Options: "br__n" and "h__se"
- For "br__n": possible words are *brown* → fits the splatter (brown color).
- For "h__se": *house* — but there’s a house picture on the right side of this row, not the splatter.
Wait — actually, the house is paired with the second box in Row 1: "h__se". So:
- Splatter → "br__n" → needs ow to make *brown*
- House → "h__se" → needs ou to make *house*

So for "br__n", correct choice is ow
For "h__se", correct choice is ou

Row 2 (pot boiling):
- Picture: pot with steam → *boil*
- Options: "b__l" and "__ster"
- "b__l" → could be *boil* → needs oi
- "__ster" → *oyster* (and there’s an oyster picture on the right!) → needs oy

So:
- Pot → "b__l" → oi → *boil*
- Oyster → "__ster" → oy → *oyster*

Row 3 (donut/ring shape):
- Picture: pink/purple ring (looks like a *round* shape or maybe *doughnut*, but word options are "r__nd" and "d__n")
- "r__nd" → *round* → needs ou
- "d__n" → *don*? No — *done*? Not quite. *Doun*? Wait — *down*? But that’s 4 letters. Hmm.
Wait — look again: the word is "d__n", and picture is a ring/donut → likely *donut*, but spelled here as "d__n" — maybe it's *down*? No, down doesn’t match ring.

But notice: the arrow points down — maybe it's hinting at *down*? But picture is a ring.

Wait — let’s check standard phonics patterns. Common words:
- *Round* → r-ou-nd
- *Down* → d-ow-n

And there’s a big black arrow pointing down — that likely matches *down*.

So:
- Ring (round shape) → "r__nd" → ou → *round*
- Arrow down → "d__n" → ow → *down*

Yes! That makes sense.

Row 4 (boy and pig):
- Left: boy → word "b__" → likely *boy* → needs oy
- Right: pig → word "__nk" → *pink* → needs i? Wait, options are oi or oy — neither is *i*.

Wait — options given are:
- For boy: "b__" with choices oi / oy → *boy* uses oy
- For pig: "__nk" with choices oi / oy → what word is _ _ nk with oi or oy?

*Oink*! Pig says “oink” → o-i-n-k, but here it's "__nk", two blanks → so first two letters missing? No, "__nk" suggests 2 letters before "nk", so 4-letter word: ? ? n k.

*Oink* is 4 letters: o-i-n-k → so "__nk" would be filled with oi → *oink*

Yes! Pigs say *oink*, so "__nk" → oi → *oink*

So:
- Boy → "b__" → oy → *boy*
- Pig → "__nk" → oi → *oink*

Now let’s compile all correct choices:

1. splatter → br__n → ow
2. house → h__se → ou
3. pot → b__l → oi
4. oyster → __ster → oy
5. ring → r__nd → ou
6. arrow/down → d__n → ow
7. boy → b__ → oy
8. pig → __nk → oi

The task says: “Tick the correct option, and complete the word.” So we need to select the correct vowel pair for each.

Since the question is “Which One Is Correct?”, and there are 8 word slots, each with two choices, we identify the correct choice per slot.

But the final answer expected is likely the list of correct selections — however, the instruction says:
→ Provide only the final correct answer.

Given the format, and that it's a multiple-choice per item, but the user likely expects the completed words or the selected vowels.

Looking at typical SplashLearn tasks, they want you to pick the correct vowel team for each blank.

So final answer should be the correct vowel pair for each of the 8 boxes, in order:

1. ow
2. ou
3. oi
4. oy
5. ou
6. ow
7. oy
8. oi

But to confirm, let me double-check each:

- brown → brown
- house → house
- boil → boil
- oyster → oyster
- round → round
- down → down
- boy → boy
- oink → oink

All correct.

Final Answer:
ow, ou, oi, oy, ou, ow, oy, oi
