Explanation:

Question 64

• "pollex - " is the combining form that means thumb (e.g., in medical terminology, related to the thumb).
• "planto - " relates to the sole of the foot.
• "poples - " relates to the hamstring or the back of the knee.
• "hallux - " means big toe.

In medical and anatomical terminology, the combining form "Mano - " (derived from Latin) means hand. For example, "manometer" (though not directly anatomical, the root "mano - " here connects to hand - related concepts in some word origins, and in anatomical terms, it specifically denotes hand). The other options: "limbs" is a broader term, "knee" has its own specific roots, and "loin" also has different roots.

Answer:

A. pollex -
