What layer of orthography involves the conventional spelling of words?

  1. Meaning layer

  2. Alphabet layer

  3. Pattern layer

  4. Root layer

The correct answer is: Meaning layer

The correct answer is A. Meaning layer. The meaning layer of orthography involves the conventional spelling of words, considering the meanings of the words being spelled. This layer focuses on the semantic aspects of spelling and how the spelling of a word relates to its meaning. In contrast, the other options are not specifically related to conventional spelling in the same way the meaning layer is.
