Ic

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a reason why also, the dude on top ( or bottom of me ) got it correct and explained why and i will also explain why in my own words, In time a long time ago perhaps they didnt have things like bluetooth speakers or anything they had a PHONograph which had big discs for hearing old music to this day we still use the telePHONe which also transmitts sound the prefix ic is like something to finish music or something like fantastIC and also in ancient times they used the word "phonic" for music and such when it was music it was phonic so the correct answer would be phonic

Answer 2

Suffix 'ic' can be added to create a word meaning "having characteristics of sound"

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Suffixes are words that are usually added at the end of the base words to change its meaning or its function.

The root word phon means loudness of sounds. Now if we add the suffix ‘ic’ at the end of the root word phon, then it will become phonic. Phonic means relating to the speech sounds, which has a characteristic of sound.

If we add other given suffixes at the end of the root phon then we will get words such as phonal, phonel, phonly. Apart from phonal the rest of the words don’t really makes sense.
