Answer:

D. a new word created by joining a prefix to an existing word.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pseudo-employees isn't a word that exists, instead the author created it by combining the prefix pseudo (meaning fake/false) with the word employees. Since it is not a word that exists, it is not a or b, and the author is not directly addressing the audience and giving them a compliment, so it is not c.
