Incorrect spelling

saftey

Incorrect spelling, explanation: the spelling is a mistake because it doesn’t match with the spelling of the noun, which is safe. A noun is derived from an adjective, so it must accord with the spelling of this part of speech. In this case, two letters (-t and -e) should change places. That’s why the only right version is safety.
