Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) tagazen

Explanation

In all three words "taga" stands for "care". When "care" comes at the start of a word it is written first, and when it comes at the end it is written last, as in "relftaga" for carefree. "Aftercare" has "care" first and "after" second, so the word is "taga" followed by the code for "after". Only "tagazen" has this form, so "zen" means "after".
