Explanation:

For ureteroileostomy:

• The term breaks down to ureter/o (combining form for ureter), ile/o (combining form for ileum), and -stomy (suffix meaning surgical creation of an opening). There is no prefix, so "Prefix: NA" is correct. Options c, d, e, h are incorrect: -ostomy misspells the suffix, eroile/o is not a valid part, uret- is not a prefix here, and o/stomy is not a valid suffix structure.

For nephrectomy:

• The term breaks down to nephr/o (combining form for kidney) and -ectomy (suffix meaning surgical removal). There is no prefix, so "Prefix: NA" is correct. Options a, b, c, d, g are incorrect: rect/o and phrect/o are not valid parts, ne-/neph- are not prefixes here, and -omy is an incomplete suffix.
