Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In order to find the correctly spelt word from the given options, we assess each spelling:

• Quintessance: Incorrectly spelt; it does not accurately represent the pronunciation or etymology.
• Quintessence: Correctly spelt; it is derived from the Latin 'quinta essentia' meaning 'fifth essence'. It refers to the most perfect or typical example of a quality or class.
• Quintesance: Incorrectly spelt; it has an error in reproducing the word 'essence'.
• Quintassence: Incorrectly spelt; it mistakenly adds an 'a' altering the word structure.

The correct answer is therefore Quintessence.
