The correct answer is A. Change

Explanation:

In language, a prefix refers to a unit of language called affix that is composed by one or more letters and is placed before a stem or root word to add meaning to it and create a new word. This means steam or root words can have different meanings depending on the prefix that is added to them. In the case of the prefix "meta-", this prefix is derived from a Greek and means "change" or "beyond", usually used to describe something that is abstract and linked to another concept. This means the name of Kafka's novel "The Metamorphosis" refers to the change or abstraction of the form related to the way the body and situation of the main character Gregor Samsa change in the novel. Thus, in "Metamorphosis" the prefix meta- means "change".
