What is orthography?

  1. Study of word meanings

  2. Study of word origins

  3. Conventional spelling of words in a language

  4. Phonetic representation of words

The correct answer is: Study of word meanings

Orthography refers to the conventional spelling of words in a language. It involves understanding the standard way words are written and how letters combine to form words. While the study of word meanings and word origins are important in language and linguistics, they do not specifically relate to orthography. Similarly, the phonetic representation of words focuses more on the sounds of words rather than their spelling conventions.
