Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C (Kutarna)

'कुतरना' में उपसर्ग का प्रयोग नहीं हुआ है, बल्कि इसमें 'ना' क्रिया प्रत्यय लगा है (कुतर + ना)। कुतर्क, कुठौर तथा कुढंग में 'कु' उपसर्ग है।

'Kutarna' (to gnaw/nibble) is a root verb with infinitive suffix '-na', not prefixed. The others have prefix 'Ku-'.
