Answer Details

The word is "affidavit". In English, words are pronounced with different levels of emphasis on syllables, which is known as stress. The correct stress pattern for "affidavit" is aff-i-DA-vit, where the emphasis is on the third syllable. This means that option C is the correct one. The other options have stress on the wrong syllable, which makes them incorrect pronunciations of the word.
