The option that is a word built from the base word "satisfy" by adding a prefix and a suffix is:

C. Dissatisfaction

A prefix is:

  • A group of letters added to the beginning of a word in order to change its meaning.

A suffix is:

  • A group of letters added to the ending of a word also to change its meaning.

Among the options, the one that has both a prefix and a suffix is "dissatisfaction":

  • The prefix "dis-" is added to satisfy to indicate a negative or opposite meaning.
  • The suffix "ation" (in this case it has an extra "c") is used to transform a verb into a noun.

In conclusion, "satisfy" has become "dissatisfaction", which means lack of satisfaction, discontentment.
