The correct answer is D.) desecrator

I got the answer correct !!!!

Answer:

D).  Desecrator

Explanation:

The word desecrate implies the meaning 'to profane the sanctity' of either a sacred place or thing.

As per the question, the form of the word that is misspelled is 'desecrator' as the correct noun form derived from the word 'desecrate' would be 'desecrater' implying the meaning 'one who profanes the sanctity or sacredness'. The other options are incorrect as they reflect appropriate spellings. Options A and B are merely the verb forms of 'desecrate' while option C correctly employs the spelling and implies the meaning 'process of desecrating'. Thus, this makes us conclude option D as the answer.
