Answer:

I would say A

Step-by-step explanation:

For irrepressible, with the prefix "ir" meaning not, and the sufix Ible, It could be either one. But I would say A BECAUSE the word itself means "not able to be pressed" and it wouldn't make sense for something you cant to to be able to do, as D would say. Hope this helped!
