Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

The incorrectly spelled word is "evacting" (Option B/Option 1). As noted, the correct term is "evacuating." Identifying such errors often involves recognizing common verb structures—in this case, "evacuate" becoming "evacuating" by removing the final 'e' and adding '-ing'.
