C Correct answer
Explanation

'Disappointment' is the correct spelling, with double 'p' and double 's' (dis-appoint-ment). The word combines the prefix 'dis-', the verb 'appoint', and the suffix '-ment'. The double 'p' comes from the root 'appoint', and both 'p' and 's' are doubled when adding the suffix. The incorrect options show common phonetic misspellings with missing letters or wrong letter combinations. The word refers to the feeling of sadness when expectations are not met.
