Answer 1

Hint:Mis is a prefix which means mistaken or wrong. So, here in this question we have to identify the wrong or incorrect spelling. Misspelt is the past tense of misspell. For example: broeken is wrong spelling and the correct spelling is broken.

Complete answer:
Option A) Harassed – the meaning of harassed is ‘to disturb or stressed or strained or troubled or worried’ and the spelling is correct. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Diagnose – the meaning of diagnose is ‘to find out and say exactly what illness a person has or what the cause of a problem is or identify or determine or discover or spot or confirm’ and the spelling is correct. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Colleigue – the correct spelling is colleague and the meaning of colleague is ‘workmate or teammate or associate or partner or co-partner or companion’ and this option is showing an incorrect spelling or wrong spelling. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option D) Dialogue – the meaning of dialogue is ‘conversation or talk or interchange or chatter or chat or gossip or dialogue is a conversation between two people in a play or novel or book’ and this is the correct spelling. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Colleigue – incorrect spelling (Option C)
Colleague – correct spelling

Hence the correct answer is option C.
