Chooses the wrong spot (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opts

'chooses' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'wrong spot' is the wordplay.
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'spot' is an anagram of 'OPTS'.

'the' is the link.

(Other definitions for opts that I've seen before include "Makes a choice from a range" , "Selects between alternatives" , "Elects" , "Settles" , "Selects as an alternative" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Sun.
