Un évènement ?

My translate app keeps correcting un évènement to un événement. I used the latter in this exercise and the result was that my answer matched, when it did not. Please explain which is correct. Thank you.

Both spellings are acceptable and are accepted, with ‘évènement’ being the Académie preferred spelling (1990 spelling rectifications) but ‘événement’ still in regular use.
