Which prefix refers to the neck or cervix?

• A. Abdomin/o
• B. Chondr/o
• C. Cervic/o
• D. Viscer/o

Answer: (C)

Cervic/o is the combining form that means neck or cervix. It appears in terms like cervical spine (the neck portion of the spine) and cervix uteri (the neck of the uterus), connecting directly to the ideas of both the neck region and the cervix. The other options refer to entirely different areas: abdomin/o is the abdomen, chondr/o is cartilage, and viscer/o relates to internal organs. So cervic/o is the correct choice because it specifically denotes the neck or cervix.
