Hint:
- Not all, but usually the spelling of a word to a great extent is dependent upon its pronunciation.
- Usually, “a” and “e” are misspelt due to their pronunciation.
- The spelling of a word has to be arranged in a standard order with the necessary letters to make it meaningful.

Complete answer:
Spelling is a set of rules that govern how graphemes (writing system) are used to represent a language in written form. In other words, spelling is the transcription of a speech sound (phoneme) into written language (grapheme). One of the elements of orthography is spelling, and a prescriptive element is a highly standardized spelling.

The term "quarrel" refers to a heated argument or disagreement, usually over a trivial issue and between people who are usually on good terms.
"She made the mistake of picking a quarrel(fight) with John," for example.

Following are the given options:
A) Querrel is not the right spelling as the letter “a '' must be placed after “u”. Thus, Option A is incorrect.
B) Querral is not the right spelling of this word as the letter “a '' must be placed after “u”. Also, “e” must be placed after “r”. Thus, Option B is also incorrect.
C) Quarrel is the right spelling. It has the necessary letters and is arranged in the correct order. Thus, Option C is the correct answer.
D) Quarel is not the right spelling as this word has double “r” which is missing here. Thus, Option D is incorrect.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note:
- Learning proper spelling by rote is a traditional component of elementary education, and deviation from standard spelling is frequently interpreted as a sign of low intelligence, illiteracy, or lower social standing.
- Spelling tests are typically used to assess a student's mastery of the words covered in previous spelling lessons. They can also be an effective method of practice.
- Most spelling rules do not account for phonetic changes that have occurred since the end of the 15th century (for example, Great Vowel Shift).
