Explanation:

To determine the combining form for skin, we analyze each option:

• Option a: "cyst/o" refers to a cyst, not skin.
• Option b: "opt/o" relates to the eye (e.g., optometry), not skin.
• Option c: "cutane/o" is the combining form for skin (from the Latin "cutis" meaning skin).
• Option d: "hem/o" relates to blood (e.g., hematology), not skin.

Answer:

c. cutane/o
