Correct answer: B
Answer: Indigenous
Explanation: Indigenous is correctly spelled i-n-d-i-g-e-n-o-u-s. The common mistakes change the order of some vowels or drop the letter "o" before the final "u."
"Indigenius" — ends with "ius" instead of the correct ending "ous."
"Indeginus" — has letters after the initial consonant transposed and is missing the letter "o."
"Indigenus" — missing the letter "o" before the "u" (should be "nou", not "nu").
Tip: Break the word into syllables (in-di-ge-nous) and remember it ends with "-ous."
