Question 1 of 25 2 Points
Which sentence describes the etymology of a word?
O A. The root centi in centimeter comes from the Latin word for
hundred.
O B. A paradigm is the set of overall assumptions that experts make.
O C. Synonyms of rubbish include garbage, trash, waste, and refuse.
O D. The pas in faux pas is pronounced like the English word paw.

I believe the answer is A...

the origin and development of a word, affix, phrase, etc.; the tracing of a word or other form back as far as possible in its own language and to its source in contemporary or earlier languages: in this dictionary etymologies are given in doubled brackets preceding the senses to which they apply
the branch of linguistics dealing with word origin and development.

So since answer A says “comes from the Latin word” I would assume it’s A. I hope that helps
