Is the “s” or the “c” silent in “scent”?

It looks like the “c” will be silent because it is pronounced similarly to “sent”. I was curious and read about it. What I found: “neither the ‘s’ nor the ‘c’ is fully silent in ‘scent.’ The ‘s’ and ‘c’ work together to make the /s/ sound, like in ‘sent’ or ‘cent.’ The ‘c’ is part of the spelling but doesn’t add a separate sound, it just helps form the ‘s’ sound.”
