Question 9

To solve this, we analyze the roots of each term:

• "aponeur/itis": "aponeur" refers to aponeurosis (a flat tendon), so it means inflamed aponeurosis.
• "tendin/itis": "tendin" refers to tendon, so it means inflamed tendon.
• "burs/itis": "burs" refers to bursa (a sac), so it means inflamed bursa.
• "arthr/itis": "arthr" refers to joint, and "itis" means inflammation. So "arthr/itis" literally means inflamed joint.

We break down the term "burs/itis":

• The root "burs" refers to bursa (a small fluid - filled sac in the body).
• The suffix "itis" means inflammation.

So "burs/itis" literally means sac (bursa) inflamed.

D. arthr/itis
