Detailed Solution

Correct option is 1. The word 'rite' is a noun which refers to a religious or some other solemn ceremony or act. It is a social tradition, practice, or standard act. It has the same meaning as the word "custom," which refers to a conventional and widely recognised manner of doing something in a specific society/place/time. As a result, option 1, 'custom,' is right.
The word, 'correct' is an adjective which means 'free from error'.
The word, 'rot' means "to decompose" or "to deteriorate by the activity of bacteria and fungi."
The word 'renowned' is an adjective that signifies 'famous.' Because the following three words have quite distinct meanings from the word 'rite,' options 2, 3, and 4 are incorrect.
