    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The prefix "UN-" means "NOT" because it is commonly used to negate the meaning of a word, such as "unhappy" meaning "not happy." Similarly, the prefix "DIS-" also means "NOT" and is used to create words with a negative or opposite meaning, like "disagree" meaning "not agree." Additionally, the prefix "IN-" can also mean "NOT" and is often used to negate the meaning of a word, such as "invisible" meaning "not visible." Therefore, all of the given prefixes - "UN-", "DIS-", and "IN-" - mean "NOT."
