Consonant cluster is defined as:

  • A.having two or more consonants
  • B.having the combination of vowels and consonant sounds
  • C.having the combination of diphthong and semi-vowels
  • D.having only one vowel and one consonant sound

Answer: A

A consonant cluster is a group of two or more consonants occurring together without a vowel in between, as in the beginning of 'street' (/str/) or the end of 'texts'. A combination of vowels and consonants, of diphthongs and semi-vowels, or a word with one vowel and one consonant is not a cluster, so the other options are wrong. The cluster is a sequence of consonants with no vowel between them, as in 'splash', which begins with a cluster of three consonants, or 'asks', which ends with one. A cluster does not contain a vowel or a diphthong, so those options are wrong.
