The correct answer is C. Some prefixes are added to the end of a root word.

Explanation:

A prefix is a syllable or syllables that are added before a word or at the beginning of it and that modify or add meaning to the word they are added. Because of this, in most cases by knowing the meaning of a prefix and knowing the meaning of the main word it is possible to determine the meaning of the complete word even if it is an unfamiliar word. Examples of prefixes include the prefix "ex-" that means former as in "ex-president" or "ex-boyfriend", the prefix "pre-" that means before as in "preview" or even "prefix" and the prefix "dis-" that means opposite to as in "disagree" or "disapprove". Considering this, the statement that is not true about prefixes is that "some prefixes are added to the end of a root word" because all prefixes go before and not after a root word.

C) Some prefixes are added to the end of a root word.

Explanation:

Prefixes are letters that are added to the beginning of a root word in order to create a word that has a different meaning. Therefore, by adding a prefix, we change one word into another one. Knowing the meaning of a prefix can help us figure out the meaning of the new word. For example, if we know that "un-" means "the opposite," then we can better understand what "unhappy" (not happy), "unable" (not able) and unpack (the opposite of packing) mean. However, prefixes are always added at the beginning of the word. When letter are added to the end of the word, these are called suffixes.
