The incorrectly spelt word is: Pattron

Key Points

  • The incorrect spelling "pattron" includes an extra "t," and the correct spelling is "patron." 
  • The word "patron" refers to a person who supports, sponsors, or is a regular customer of a business, organization, or individual. (वह व्यक्ति जो किसी व्यवसाय, संगठन या व्यक्ति का समर्थन करता है, प्रायोजित करता है या उसका नियमित ग्राहक है)
  • They often provide financial assistance, encouragement, or advocacy.
    • For example- A patron of the arts might financially support an art gallery, or a patron of a restaurant is a loyal customer who frequently dines there.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
