An affixational process that forms a word with meaning distinct from its base category is known as
Answer: A
The process is derivation, option A. Derivational affixation forms a new word whose meaning differs from the base and often changes the word class, as in happy becoming unhappy or teach becoming teacher.
Suffixation and prefixation (options B and C) only describe where the affix is attached; both can be derivational or inflectional, so neither names the kind of process described. Inflexion (option D) adds grammatical information such as tense or number to the same word and does not create a new word with a distinct meaning, as in walk and walked.
