A. Wrong
B. Right
C. Correct
D. Pronounce

Answer :

Final answer:

The correct answer to the riddle is 'wrong' because pronouncing it 'correctly' means you are wrong according to the riddle's logic, and pronouncing it 'wrong' means you are right.

Explanation:

The brain teaser you've shared is about an English word that presents a bit of a paradox. If we follow the clues, the answer reveals itself quite cleverly.

When you attempt to pronounce this word correctly, you would say 'correctly' and thus be pronouncing it correctly, which according to the riddle, would mean you are wrong.

However, if you were to pronounce it incorrectly, you would be wrong in your pronunciation, and thus right according to the riddle. The word we are looking for, therefore, is wrong, which is option a).
