Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Aesthetic.
Explanation
Rule: Standard English orthography dictates that words derived from the Greek root aisthetikos (meaning 'perceptive of the senses') are spelled with an initial 'ae' or 'e' depending on regional conventions.
Formula: Greek: aisthetikos → British/Standard: Aesthetic or American: Esthetic
Application: The correct, universally accepted standard spelling among the choices provided is 'Aesthetic'. The variation presented in Option 1 (Easthetic) is phonetically incorrect and an invalid spelling pattern.
