This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Quarantine

The question asks which of the four options is spelt correctly.

The intended word refers to a period of isolation to prevent the spread of disease.

Its correct spelling is "Quarantine", derived from the Italian "quaranta" meaning forty, for the forty-day isolation of ships.

It is spelt Q-U-A-R-A-N-T-I-N-E, with an "a" after "Quar" and the ending "-tine".

"Quarentine" is wrong because it uses "e" instead of the correct "a" in the middle.

"Quaranteen" is wrong because it ends in "-teen" rather than "-tine".

"Quarintine" is wrong because it uses "i" instead of "a" after "Quar".

Only the first option matches the standard dictionary spelling.

Hence, the correct answer is Quarantine.
