Incorrect spelling, explanation: transfered is the incorrect version of the past participle from a verb transfer. To create a past participle from transfer, we need to not only add the suffix -ed, but also double the last consonant. Transfer is a word that ends with a vowel and a consonant and the accent is on the last syllable, so to create the correct past participle r needs to be doubled. Because of that, the spelling transfered is not correct and the right version is transferred.
