The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Identify the incorrectly spelled word.
We need the one option that contains a spelling error.

Option 1 - innocuous: correct. Option 2 - prodigious: correct. Option 3 - heterogenous: correct. Option 4 - adventoure: incorrect; the correct spelling is adventure (no extra o).
