Answer:

C. in a shortened form

Step-by-step explanation:

The Greek has an incredible influence in the English language, we have more than 150.000 word that are derived from this old language. Most of the word use a shortened version of the word that comes from the Greek words, for example the word “democracy” include the prefix demos that means people, or arachnophobia that use a part from the greek phobos that is fear.
