A. The sentence works fine. one could argue B, but a colon is used to separate a run-on or show two complete thoughts in the same sentence, so arguably B would not work either.
<span>root - the basic part of a word
example: reCONSTRUCTion
prefix - an addition before the root of a word
example: REconstruction
suffix - an addition at the end of the root of a word
example: reconstructION
The root is what contributes to the basic meaning of a word - prefixes
and suffixes serve to narrow down the meaning - who, when, how, in what
tense
example: re - again
construct - to build
ion - the action of
So the word RECONSTRUCTION would mean "the action of building again."
Hope that helped! Good luck! :)
P.S. Although you didn't ask for it, the subject is the object in the sentence that is performing the predicate
example: The girl ran to the store.
girl - subject
ran - predicate
It doesn't really have much in common with roots, prefixes and suffixes, all which are similar in function </span>

I believe the correct answer is B) diction, because diction is the choice of words. So, the more precise the words which the author uses are, the more precise and increased will the text be.
