Answer: A. Previous

The correct answer is A. Previous.
Previous is spelled with an "e" in the first syllable, which follows the Latin root praevius (meaning "going before").
Privious (B) is a common misspelling where people use an "i" because of the way it sounds phonetically.
Preveous (C) and Priveous (D) incorrectly use "eo" instead of the correct "io" vowel combination at the end.
The word is an adjective used to describe something that happened or existed before something else
