Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The root word 'prevent' can seamlessly take suffixes to create valid words: 'preventable' (adjective), 'preventing' (participle/gerund), and 'preventive' (adjective/noun). The suffix '-ious' cannot combine with prevent; 'preventious' is incorrect and non-existent.
