C is correct.

A phoneme is a unit of sounds that is used to make words sound differently.

A morpheme is a unit of meaning, that is used to complement the meaning of a word. It is also characterized by the fact it can not be divided into any other sub-terms (only letters).


Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!
