Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3, i.e., Sovereignity.

 

Answer: Sovereignity

Meaning/Concept:
The word "Sovereignity" is incorrectly spelt. The correct spelling is "Sovereignty".

"Sovereignty" is spelled without the extra "i" after "n". The correct sequence is "eign" + "ty", not "eignity". This mistake happens because people try to add "eign" + "ity" incorrectly.

Example/Usage:

Incorrect: The country declared its sovereignity in 1947.

Conclusion:
"Sovereignity" is the incorrectly spelt word in the given options. The correct spelling is "Sovereignty".
