Question

which suffix means abnormal condition or disease?

Explanation:

To determine the suffix meaning "abnormal condition or disease", we analyze each option:

• "algia" means pain (e.g., neuralgia).
• "tic" refers to a sudden, repetitive movement (e.g., a facial tic), not a suffix for abnormal condition/disease.
• "osis" is a suffix that denotes an abnormal condition or disease (e.g., osteoporosis, psychosis).
• "vs" is an abbreviation (versus), not a suffix for this meaning.

Answer:

C. osis (assuming the options are labeled A: algia, B: tic, C: osis, D: vs; adjust label as per actual option numbering, but the correct suffix is "osis")
