Analyze the given word parts

We need to identify which of the six options are root words. Let's evaluate each option using Greek and Latin Roots and Prefixes and Suffixes:

• anti: This is a prefix meaning "against" or "opposite" (e.g., antisocial, antiseptic).
• con: This is a prefix meaning "with" or "together" (e.g., connect, construct).
• cred: This is a Latin root meaning "believe" or "trust" (e.g., credible, credit).
• graph: This is a Greek root meaning "write" or "draw" (e.g., autograph, biography).
• post: This is a prefix meaning "after" or "behind" (e.g., postpone, postscript).
• vis: This is a Latin root meaning "see" (e.g., visible, vision).
