There are 4 boards in a business school which have displayed the meaning of the term that means "A process in which an independent person makes an official decision that ends a legal disagreement without the need for it to be solved in court."

Board 2: ARBITERATION
Board 3: ARBETRATION

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 1

Step 1: Identify the definition → The term described is “A process in which an independent person makes an official decision that ends a legal disagreement without the need for it to be solved in court.”
Step 2: Recall the correct legal term → This definition refers to the word Arbitration, a well-known process in dispute resolution.
Step 3: Compare the spellings given on the four boards:
- Board 1: ARBITRATION ✅ (this is the correct spelling).
- Board 2: ARBITERATION ❌ (extra ‘E’, incorrect).
- Board 3: ARBETRATION ❌ (wrong vowel, incorrect).
- Board 4: ARBITATION ❌ (missing ‘R’, incorrect).
Step 4: Conclude correctness → Only Board 1 has the accurate spelling “ARBITRATION.”
Step 5: Apply formatting rule → The final answer must be presented without spaces as per the instruction.
FinalAnswer:1

Answer 2

A different way to confirm the correct spelling is to break the word into its recognizable parts and check each board's version against those parts, rather than only comparing full words.

The correct word is built from the root "arbiter" (a person appointed to judge or settle a dispute) plus the suffix "-ation," which together give "arbitration."

Checking each board: Board 1 gives ARBITRATION, which matches the root plus suffix exactly. Board 2 gives ARBITERATION, which wrongly inserts an extra "E" from the word "arbiter" instead of dropping it before adding "-ation." Board 3 gives ARBETRATION, which changes the vowel after "arb" and breaks the recognizable root. Board 4 gives ARBITATION, which drops the "R" needed in "arbitr-" before the suffix.

Only Board 1's spelling correctly follows the root-plus-suffix pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is \[ \boxed{\text{Board 1}} \].
