B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct spelling is 'Preference' with a single 'r' after 'e'. This noun means a greater liking for one alternative over another. Option A incorrectly doubles the 'r' (Preferrence), C changes the ending (Preferrance), and D has both errors. The rule: prefer becomes preference (single r).
