Cmany

Dafter

Answer:

A. against

Read Explanation:

The prefix "anti-" means "against/എതിരെ." It is used to indicate opposition, resistance, or antagonism to something (എതിർപ്പ്, പ്രതിരോധം അല്ലെങ്കിൽ വിരോധം എന്നിവ സൂചിപ്പിക്കാൻ). When added to a word, it changes the meaning to convey the idea of being opposed to, preventing, or countering the root word. For example: Antibacterial: Against bacteria /ബാക്ടീരിയകൾക്കെതിരെ Antivirus: Against viruses / വൈറസുകൾക്കെതിരെ Antifungal: Against fungi / ഫംഗസിനെതിരെ In each case, the prefix "anti-" signifies opposition or counteraction to the specific entity mentioned in the root word.
