Step-by-step explanation:

The word desecrate is a verb that refers to the action of violating the sacredness of something. The form of the word that is misspelled is 'desecrator.' The correct spelling would be 'desecrater,' meaning a person who desecrates the sanctity of something. The other answer choices are correctly spelled: 'desecrates' is the 3rd person present form; 'Desecrated' can work as the past tense form or the past participle form; and 'Desecration' refers to the process of desecrating.
