Detailed Explanation

Vowels are distinguished by length (long/short), tongue height (high/low), and tongue position (front/back) or openness (open/closed). 'Rounded/around' is not a standard distinction; the correct term is 'rounded/unrounded'.

Hint

The shape of the lips can be rounded or spread, not 'around'.
