During a cultural exchange trip to Mexico, a group of 2nd year high school students from 'Nuevos Horizontes' school had the opportunity to explore the historical and linguistic riches of the country. When visiting the pyramids of Teotihuacan, one of the students, an archaeology enthusiast, decided to record his impressions of the place in a diary kept in Spanish. Despite his great enthusiasm, the student faced the complexity of Spanish spelling, having noted words like 'arqueología' and 'espléndido' that, although present in his Portuguese vocabulary, showed variations in spelling and accentuation. Given the sample of the diary presented, identify the word that is spelled incorrectly according to Spanish spelling rules and explain the corresponding spelling rule that makes the identified spelling incorrect.

The correct way to write 'arqueología' in Spanish is 'arqueología', without the written accent on the letter 'i'.

None of the provided words is spelled incorrectly according to Spanish spelling rules.

The word 'arqueología' is spelled incorrectly because acute words in Spanish do not receive a written accent.

The word 'espléndido' is spelled incorrectly because proparoxytone words in Spanish are not accented graphically.

The correct spelling of 'espléndido' in Spanish is 'esplendido', without the written accent on the letter 'é'.
