It means together:

sym: together

phony: sound

Everyone is making sound together with their instruments so this is a symphony.

Hello there

Let's talk about a little bit of Morphology (a field of linguistics that study words and their composition)

Word: symphony

Morphology: syn + phony. It comes from the old latin: symphonia. In English the world only has 3 syllables.

Prefix sym

The English prefixes syn- along with its variant sym-, derived from Greek, mean “together.”

Therefore, correct answer is C: together.

Hope this helps
