B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct spelling is 'separate' - an adjective and verb meaning to keep apart or divide. It follows the pattern 'se-para-te' with the 'par' syllable. The root is from Latin 'separatus'. Common misspellings often use '-seperate-' or '-seperete-', but the correct form has '-para-' in the middle. Remember: 'there is a rat in separate' (mnemonic device).
