Are the capitalized words homophones or homographs as creek rose damp boards began to creak?

The capitalized words in the sentence are homographs.

Here's why:

* Creek (a small stream) and creak (a sound) are spelled the same but have different meanings and pronunciations.

* Rose (a flower) and rose (past tense of rise) are spelled the same but have different meanings and pronunciations.

Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. Homophones are words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings.
