Question

-ing

ir-

irrita-
a b c d

Answer 1

c. ir-

The prefix in the word "irritating" is "ir-". A prefix is a word part added to the beginning of a word to create a new meaning. In this case, "ir-" is added to the root "ritate" to form the verb "irritate," which then takes the suffix "-ing" to become "irritating."
