1. which prefix would be added to the word part -stalsis to create a term that means \around contraction\?

poly-
peri-
multi-
retro-

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each prefix:

• "Poly - " means many (e.g., polygon), not "around".
• "Peri - " means around (e.g., perimeter), so "Peri - stalsis" would mean "around contraction".
• "Multi - " means many (e.g., multiple), not "around".
• "Retro - " means backward (e.g., retrograde), not "around".

Answer:

B. Peri -
