    A. One who is lower in rank

    Explanation:

    Subordinate means lower in rank. The the prefix sub - means lower, or below. Since - ordin - means order or rank it fits that subordinate would mean:

    sub - ordin-ate

    Other uses of the word sub - would be under. Like sublevel, or subcategory.
