Which of the following has the smallest unit of meaning? a. Allophones b. Morpheme c. Phone d. Morph

The correct answer is b. Morpheme.A morpheme is the smallest unit of meaning in a language. It is the smallest meaningful unit of a word that cannot be further divided into smaller meaningful parts. Morphemes can be as small as a single sound or as large as an entire word.Allophones (option a) are variations of a single phoneme that do not change the meaning of a word. Phones (option c) are individual sounds in a language, but they do not necessarily carry meaning on their own. A morph (option d) is a variant of a morpheme, but it is not the smallest unit of meaning.Therefore, the correct answer is b. Morpheme.
