A Correct answer
Explanation

'Courtesy' is the correct spelling. The word comes from 'court' + 'esy' (a suffix meaning quality or state). The other options - 'Courtasy', 'Cortesy', and 'Courtesi' - are all incorrect spellings. This tests whether you know that the 'u' after 'cour' is retained and the suffix is '-tesy'.
