Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correctly spelt word is ‘Fluorescence’.
The word Fluorescence is often misspelled because of the 'uo' and 'sc' combinations. Here is how to remember it:
Fluor-: Starts with 'fluo' (like fluorine or fluid).
-esce-: Contains the 'sce' pattern common in words relating to light or process (like phosphorescence or acquiesce).
-nce: Ends with the standard noun suffix.
Fluorescence refers to the visible or invisible radiation produced from certain substances as a result of incident radiation of a shorter wavelength such as X-rays or ultraviolet light.
