Morphologists divide morphemes into a specific number of types, namely

  • A.Root, stem, prefix, suffix
  • B.Affix, infix, circumfix, allomorph
  • C.Dhatu, ruup, kriya, naama
  • D.Free, bound, zero portmanteau

Answer: D

Morphologists divide morphemes into the types free, bound, zero and portmanteau, so option (D) is right. A free morpheme can stand alone as a word, a bound morpheme must attach to another, a zero morpheme has meaning but no sound, and a portmanteau morpheme carries several meanings in a single form. Option (A) lists parts of a word such as root, stem, prefix and suffix, which are not types of morphemes. Option (B) lists kinds of affix together with the allomorph, which is a variant of a morpheme. Option (C) lists Sanskrit grammatical terms.
