B Correct answer
Explanation

Pretentious means attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed. The word follows standard English spelling rules with 'ten' before 'tious' (similar to contententious, ostentatious). Option A omits the 'i', option C uses 'ous' instead of 'tious', and option D is completely unrelated.
