Answer: D) Antonyms are usually made by adding the prefix un

Step-by-step explanation:

When talking about "un", we're referring to a prefix used to connotate the negative form of a word but still talking about the same theme. For example:

  • Professional - Unprofessional

Antonyms are a whole different word used to describe the opposite thing we're talking about. For example:

  • Good - bad
  • Pretty - Ugly
