Negative prefixes, a prefix to make a sentence, or statement negative. They are placed and/or added at the beginning of words to change the meaning of it. Here are some common negative prefixes:


`\sf un- (most \ common) \\ \sf non- ( means \ 'not')\\ \sf mis- (means \ wrong, \ bad) \\ de- (means \ 'down') \\ dis - (means \ 'not' \ or \ opposite)`

Out of those negative prefixes, you can see that option D) dis- is in there.

`\fbox {D) dis- }`
