Whats a Cognate word?? This is for my spanish test

Cognate words are words that are spelled exactly the same, slightly different, or spelled differently but sound familiar

Creo que es selva o isla es una parte de la tierra

The correct answer is, “ella te da muchos regalos a ti”. it cannot be any of the other answers because at the beginning of the sentence they said “te da”, meaning it’s giving something to you. if the sentence was “ella me da muchos regalos” the answer will be “a mí.”if the sentence was “ella le da muchos regalos” the answer will be “a ella.” and so on. hope this .
