Null describes something that has no legal or binding force, or zero value in mathematics. In this sense, it functions as an adjective by describing the quality or state of having no value or effect. For example, 'a null contract' means a contract with no legal effect - the word null describes what kind of contract it is.

A Correct answer
Explanation

The past tense of 'build' is 'built,' which is an irregular verb. It does not follow the regular pattern of adding '-ed'. Instead, it changes form completely. 'Builded' and 'builted' are incorrect spellings - this verb cannot be regularized. 'Builder' is a noun referring to a person who builds, not a verb form. This irregular pattern is similar to other verbs like 'send/sent' or 'spend/spent'.
