A Correct answer
Explanation

'Misspelled' is the correct spelling. The base verb is 'misspell' (with double 's' because the prefix 'mis-' ends with 's' and the root 'spell' starts with 's'). The past tense adds '-ed', making 'misspelled' with double 's' and double 'l'. This is ironically the most commonly misspelled word.
