select the correct answer.
what does the root fort of the word fortify mean?
a. break
b. suffer
c. strong
d. move

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of the root "fort" in "fortify", we analyze word roots. The root "fort" (from Latin "fortis") means "strong". "Fortify" means to make something strong (e.g., fortify a building, fortify one's resolve). Option A (break), B (suffer), and D (move) do not align with the meaning of "fort" or "fortify".

Answer:

C. strong
