Spot the correct spelling of plant-based pollution cleanup.


Options:

  1. Phytoremediation
  2. Phytoremydiation
  3. Phytoremidiation
  4. Phytremediation

Right Answer: Phytoremediation

'Phytoremediation' is a scientific term referring to the use of plants to remove, degrade, or contain pollutants from soil, water, or air, combining the Greek prefix 'phyto-' (meaning plant) with 'remediation' (the act of correcting a fault or restoring something to its original state). The correct spelling follows standard English morphological rules: 'phyto' + 'remediation' = 'phytoremediation', with no additional or missing letters. The distractor options contain subtle spelling errors—an extra 'y', a swapped vowel, or a missing 'e'—that are commonly made when writing this technical compound word. Careful attention to each syllable confirms option 1 as correctly spelled. The correct answer is option 1, Phytoremediation.
