Colons denote "that is to say" or "here's what I mean." They make sentences’ first parts not important rather the sentence’s second part contains the important information. Here are some of the rules you could use for colons:
</span>
<span>*Colons are uses upon introducing items. </span>
<span>*Do not use capital letters after a colon except if it’s a proper noun. </span>
<span>*Do not use colons after a verb or preposition. </span>
<span>*For independent clauses, especially when the second sentence explains the paragraph’s meaning, the use of colon is preferred. </span>
<span>
*After a colon: capitalize the first letter of the first word if it is a complete quotation.</span>

Answer:
The term is:
B. homonym
Explanation:
A homonym is a word that is pronounced and spelled the same way as another word. However, the meanings are different. You can see that this definition is a bit different from the one given in the question. It's because that one actually refers to a homophone, which has the same sound but different spellings. But, since we do not have the option "homophone" to choose, the best one is "homonym". In any case, homonyms are also homophones, but homophones are not necessarily homonyms.
Take a look at the examples below.
Homonyms: pen (to write) - pen (to place animals in); tire (of a car) - tire (verb)
Homophones: here - hear; hair - hare; break - brake
A Potlach is a ceremonial feast, common with the Northwest Native American tribes, wherein possessions were given away or destroyed by the wealthy tribespeople in a show of their opulence and wealth.
