Option C: 'Pejorative' means 'expressing contempt or disapproval', or 'something that is wrong'. These prefixes form negative words, like 'malcontent', 'maleficent', 'misunderstand', 'mistake', where 'mal-' and 'mis-' are pejorative prefixes.
Hence option C is correct.
Option A: 'Status prefix' denotes the title or post of a person, 'vice-president', for example.
Option B: 'Derivatives' are words derived from other words, called root words. 'Derivative prefixes' use root words to form new words.
Option D: 'Place prefixes' express location or place, like 'inter' and 'intra'.
These options do not express contempt, or something that is wrong. Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
