A
Correct answer
Explanation
Man-of-war is the correct spelling - it's a compound noun referring to a warship or a jellyfish. It uses 'Man' not 'Mean', 'of' not 'off', and 'war' not 'waar'. The hyphens correctly connect all three parts of this multi-word compound. 'Man of war' without hyphens is incorrect.
