    A worded Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B diffuss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C compromising Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D strategic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The incorrect word in this sentence is “diffuss.” The correct spelling is “diffuse,” which means to spread or disperse something over a wide area, especially tension or conflict. The incorrect form “diffuss” has no meaning in English and is a spelling error. The other words are correct and contextually suitable: “worded” refers to the way something is expressed, “compromising” means weakening or putting at risk, and “strategic” relates to long-term planning or importance. Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer.
