Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Disease
Rule: disease is nothing but the prefix DIS- joined to the whole word EASE.
DIS + EASE = DISEASE = an illness or disorder of the body or mind *(रोग, बीमारी)*.
Old French desaise = *des-* (without) + *aise* (ease), literally "want of ease".
Two traps follow from that: the first syllable is dis-, spelt with i, never *des-*; and ease must stay whole, e-a-s-e.
Spell it out — D-I-S + E-A-S-E — and only option 2 has all seven letters in that order.
Why the others are wrong.
• Desiase — two faults: the prefix is *des-* instead of dis-, and the ending *-iase* reverses the letters of -ease *(ग़लत वर्तनी)*.
• Desese — the prefix is again *des-*, and ease is cut down to *ese*, losing the a *(ग़लत वर्तन
