Option 1 (Entrepreneur) is correctly spelled with 'entre-' followed by ' preneur '.

Select the correctly spelt word out of the four alternatives.
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Entrepreneur
Meaning: entrepreneur = a person who sets up a business and carries its risk *(उद्यमी, व्यवसाय-प्रवर्तक)*.
Spell it in three French pieces: ENTRE + PRE + NEUR.
It comes from French *entreprendre*, to undertake — the same root as *enterprise*.
Why the others are wrong.
• Entreprenure — ends in *-nure* instead of -neur; the French agent ending is always *-eur*, as in *amateur* and *chauffeur* *(फ़्रांसीसी प्रत्यय)*.
• Enterpreneur — the first part is written *enter-*, borrowed by mistake from *enterprise*; the correct opening is entre- *(वर्तनी की अदला-बदली)*.
• Entrapreneur — an *a* replaces the *e* of the middle syllable; the sound is unstressed, which is exactly why it is misheard *(अस्पष्ट - SSC Selection Post Ph-11 2023 Spelling
