Neither and both.
You can pronounce it "sent" and "cent"
So both options are correct, but only one at a time.
Therefore it is in a quantum super-position breaking the laws of physics and spacetime, making this question impossible and fundamentally changing reality as we know it through the art of making a wall of text that nobody will ever read because I know you didn't read past the first sentence, come on admit it. Anyway did you know there was an old snapshot of minecraft that changed like 2 pixels of the minecraft dirt block? Yeah I didn't either, but you do now! But in-case you don't know what a "super-position" is, it's where an object is it multiple states at once, for example Child A Prime guarding door A, in universe 2, until un-observed is in the super-position of being | Displaced > and also | Alive >. I think. I don't know, I'm not sure. But it's really cool! It gives you a free migraine so you can get out of school if you want. As for the pronunciation, english is pretty freaking stupid. It's just a mish-mash of Latin and French, which honestly I might just learn latin instead 'cause it sounds cool. Anyway, how's your day? I've been pretty meh so far today.

*explosion sound effect*

in cent the c isn’t silent so why should it be different in scent

The 'C'

My brain isn't braining

I’m stuck so I can’t vote
I Need to think 🤔

secret 3rd option: scent spelled xent

In the word scent, the C is actually silent. The S provides the "s" sound, and the C is there because of the word's Latin origins, where the spelling influenced the pronunciation in English, even though the C isn't voiced.

wait initially I thought it was c
but now I don’t know
this is actually a good question

i choose answer 3: yes

*dies*

Cent with a "c" is money, so it makes sense that the "c" in scent is silent or else it would refer to currency rather than the smell of something
