Answer:

A. aw

Step-by-step explanation:

Its Middle English roots are awke, meaning "backhanded," and -ward, to "go in the direction of." So, if you are feeling uncomfortable, or clumsy, it's probably because your hands are connected to you the wrong way!

Hope this helps :)

Have a great rest of your day or night!
