A Correct answer
Explanation

Mischievous is the correct spelling, derived from mischief with the suffix -ous. The common misspellings incorrectly insert an 'i' after 'v' or change the vowel pattern. Remember: mischief + -ous = mischievous, maintaining the original i-e pattern without adding extra letters.
