Solution

The correct option is D Many
Option C: The prefix 'poly' means 'much/many'.
'Polygon' means 'many-angled'.
Hence option C is correct.
Options A, B and D: 'Huge' and 'small' refer to size: large and small, respectively. 'Single' means 'one', whereas 'poly' means 'more than one'.
Hence these options do not give the meaning of the prefix 'poly' and options A, B and D are wrong.
