Pick out the correct meaning of the word - "DEFACTO" from the options given below:

actually, infact

The correct answer is Option (3) - actually, infact

• "De facto" is a Latin term that translates to "in fact" or "in practice," often used to describe situations that exist in reality, even if not formally recognized or established by law.

The other options do not accurately reflect the meaning of "de facto":

• "rightfully, legally"  (Incorrect) – This implies legal recognition, which is not the meaning of "de facto."
• "necessarily, by force"  (Incorrect) – This does not relate to the actual meaning of the term.
• "unreasonably"  (Incorrect) – This has no connection to the term "de facto."
