The answer to your question would be that the noun that does not follow the pattern rule in the statement is C, "pencils". The spelling rule pattern in the statement indicates that nouns that end in a consonant+y are made plural by adding the suffix -ies. The noun "pencil" does not end in -y, so it does not follow said spelling pattern rule. Its plural form is made by adding -s.
