D
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct spelling is 'inadvertent' ending in '-ent' not '-ant'. Option D is correct. This word means 'unintentional' and follows the 'ad-verb-adjective' pattern. Options A, B, and C all incorrectly use '-ant' endings, which is a frequent mistake for adverbs/adjectives.
