• B. Klepptomania
• C. Kleptemania
• D. Kleptomania

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

In this question, we are asked to find the correctly spelled word from the given options. The options provided are:

• Klaptomania
• Klepptomania
• Kleptemania
• Kleptomania

The correct and accurately spelled word among the options is "Kleptomania."

Let's analyze the options:

1. Klaptomania: This option is incorrect because the correct spelling starts with "Klep-," not "Klap-."
2. Klepptomania: This spelling is incorrect due to the unnecessary double "p" in "Klepptomania."
3. Kleptemania: This option is incorrect because the word should end with "-omania," corresponding to the obsession or compulsion, not "-emania."
4. Kleptomania: This is the correct spelling. It is a term used in psychology to describe a compulsion to steal items that aren't needed for personal use or monetary value.

The term "Kleptomania" is derived from "klepto" meaning theft and "mania" indicating a type of compulsion.
