Answer:

A.) a hyphen separates a prefix ending in a vowel from a root word beginning with a vowel; a dash does not

Explanation:

You should use a hyphen to connect a prefix to another word if the prefix ends in a vowel and the base word also begins with one.

e.g. "pre-eminent," “co-own,” "anti-immune".

You cannot use a dash with these words.
