The correct answer is C. Unfortunately

Step-by-step explanation:

In language, words are composed mainly by root words which are the basic unit of a word, suffixes which are letters or syllables placed after words and prefixes which are similar to suffixes but are placed before rather than after root words. Because of this, words are usually composed of a root word follow or preceded by a suffix or prefix but in some cases, the three elements previously described can be found in one word. This is the case of the word "Unfortunately" that contains the root word "Fortunate" that means lucky, the prefix "un-" that means not or opposite and the suffix "-ly" that means in what way or manner, which leads to the word "Unfortunately" that is used to describe an action that resulted in a way that was not lucky. Therefore, the word that has both a prefix and a suffix is "Unfortunately".
