Which property best distinguishes a clitic from an affix in morphology?

Options:

A clitic is phonologically dependent but syntactically independent
A clitic is phonologically independent and syntactically bound
A clitic can never attach to verbs
A clitic always carries full lexical meaning

Correct answer: A clitic is phonologically dependent but syntactically independent

Explanation: Clitics are phonologically bound (they attach prosodically) yet have syntactic independence; for example English 'm in "I'm" is phonologically attached but syntactically an auxiliary-like element.
