Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Maintenance

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: A) Maintenance šŸ“š Explanation: The word 'maintenance' is often misspelled because people try to follow the spelling of its root verb, 'maintain'. However, in the noun form, the 'ai' in the second syllable changes to an 'e'. This phonetic and orthographic shift makes it a very common word in error-correction and spelling tests for competitive examinations.
