In RP, the word 'bath' is pronounced with which vowel sound?

In RP, the word bath uses a long vowel sound, written as /ɑː/ (often shown as /aː/ in teaching materials). The option /a:/ corresponds to that long “a” sound. This is different from /æ/ (the short a in trap), /ɒ/ (the short o in lot), or /e/ (the short e in bed). So the long a sound is the correct choice for bath in RP.
