  1. A.S1 is right and S2 is wrong✓ Correct
  2. B.S1 is wrong and S2 is right
  3. C.Both S1 and S2 are wrong
  4. D.Both S1 and S2 are right

Explanation

'Especially' means particularly or above all, and is used to single something out for emphasis. 'Specially' means for a specific purpose. In S1, 'especially noticeable' correctly uses 'especially' to emphasize the notable quality. In S2, the intended meaning is 'particularly on days when there is a board meeting', which requires 'especially', not 'specially'. Hence S1 is right and S2 is wrong.
