The best answer is D -- pronouncing the word. The reason for that is pronouncing the word does not help you to understand what the word means.
When identifying an unfamiliar word, pronouncing the word is NOT a technique you should employ. Option D is correct.
When identifying an unfamiliar word it is very important to try to figure its meaning out according to the context of the text in which it was found. Besides, it is important to known what its gramatical function is in the sentence, as well as to know what type of word it is. Pronouncing the word will not be helpful when trying to understand its meaning without looking it up.
