What is the correct spelling for the term referring to a discretionary power or right that is not subject to control?

Prerogative
Perogative
Perogtive
Preragitive

The correct answer is: Prerogative

The term that refers to a discretionary power or right that is not subject to control is spelled "prerogative." This word is derived from the Latin "praerogativa," which means a right reserved exclusively by a particular person or group. In legal and administrative contexts, a prerogative often implies a power that is inherent or granted to an authority, implying that it can be exercised without constraint. The other spellings presented, such as "perogative," "perogtive," and "preragitive," are incorrect renditions of the term and may cause confusion in both legal and conversational contexts. Correct spelling is critical, especially in legal settings, as misinterpretation could lead to misunderstandings regarding rights or powers that are being discussed.
