A Correct answer
Explanation

Diligence means careful and persistent effort. The correct spelling keeps a single 'l' and uses the '-ence' suffix. Options B and D incorrectly double the 'l', while option C substitutes '-ance' for '-ence'. From the adjective 'diligent', replace 't' with 'ce' to form the noun.
