B Correct answer
Explanation

Dizziness follows the standard rule for forming abstract nouns from adjectives ending in 'y' - keep the 'y' and add -ness (not -ness with letter changes). The root word 'dizzy' maintains its 'z' and 'y' pattern, unlike the misspelled options that drop letters or change the ending.

Perspective is the correct spelling - it means a particular way of viewing things or the art of drawing 3D scenes on 2D surfaces. Option A incorrectly doubles the 'p', option C has the 'e' and 'r' transposed, and option D substitutes 'a' for 'e'. The pattern is per-s-pec-tive.

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.

Assessment is the correct spelling, requiring double 's' in both the prefix and the root. The pattern is as-sess-ment - the verb 'assess' (with double 's') plus '-ment'. Options A, C, and D all miss one of the double 's' letters, which is a common error in this frequently-used academic word.

Relevance is correctly spelled with '-ance' ending, not '-ence' as in option B. From the adjective 'relevant', change 't' to 'ce' but keep the 'an' vowel combination. Options C and D incorrectly change the vowel to 'a' in the first syllable. This word is commonly used in academic and business contexts.

Vaccination requires double 'c' followed by single 'i' and the standard '-tion' ending. From 'vaccine', add '-ation' while preserving the double 'c'. Option B misses a 'c', option C incorrectly adds an extra 'i', and option D makes both errors. This is a crucial medical term.
