Answer:

B. Mis-

Step-by-step explanation:

Prefixes are the groups of letters or words that stand in front of the other word, usually changing its meaning.

Mis- is a prefix added when something should be characterized as wrong, bad, mistaken, less, or incorrect. When prefix mis- is placed in front of the other word or its root, it will usually change the meaning to paint something in the original word is actually bad.

For example

  • “He directed me where should I go” – he told me where to go, he gave me advice on how to reach something.
  • “He misdirected me where should I go” – he told me wrongly where should I go, he gave me incorrect advice, I took the bad turn.

Some of the words that use the prefix mis- are misfortune, misconduct, misbehave, mistake, misuse, misadventure, misheard, etc.
