a basic word part that often comes from greek or latin
word part added at the beginning or end of a word root that changes the words meaning

Explanation:

A prefix is an affix added at the beginning of a word root. For example, in the word "unhappy", "un - " is the prefix. It changes the meaning of the root word "happy". The first option describes a suffix (added at the end). The third option describes a root word. The fourth option is a general description of an affix (both prefix and suffix), not specifically a prefix.

Answer:

an affix added at the beginning of a word root
