Correct spelling, explanation: this form is correct, as historically the word daughter also used to be written with ght sound (Middle English doughter). The roots of this word go back to Sanskrit duhita. Daugther is simply a misspelling. The correct form is daughter.

Incorrect spelling, explanation: daugther is incorrect as the word comes from Middle English doughter, which was spelled with ght sound, not gth. In modern English, we spell the word with a, daughter, and it is the only change made. Daughter is therefore the correct form.
