The correct answer is: Present or past tense.
The different pronunciations of the word "read" serve to differentiate its verbal tense.
Even though the word is written as "read" in both the present and the past, it is pronounced differently.
If it refers to the present it is read as /riːd/ whereas if it refers to the past it is read as /red/
