Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: dis

Explanation: Context: The prefix ‘dis–’ is used to form the opposite of a word or to indicate negation. Thus, adding it to ‘advantage’ gives ‘disadvantage’, meaning an unfavorable condition. 1. ub ❌ – meaningless. 2. re ❌ – means ‘again’. 3. de ❌ – means ‘reverse’. 4. dis ✅ – correct; forms ‘disadvantage’. Correct Sentence/Example Sentence: Growing up in a remote village can be a disadvantage when seeking modern education.
