Explanation:

Question 1

To solve this, we analyze each term:

• Option A: Pyogenesis refers to the production of pus, not mucous.
• Option B: Myogenesis is the formation of muscle tissue.
• Option C: Mucogenesis breaks down to "muc-" (related to mucus) + "genesis" (formation), so it means formation of mucous.
• Option D: Mycogenesis is related to the formation of fungi.

The suffix "-itis" in medical terminology means inflammation. So "Pharyngitis" refers to the inflammation of the pharynx.

Answer:

C. mucogenesis
