Explanation:

• The suffix -algia correctly means pain (e.g., myalgia = muscle pain).
• The suffix -itis correctly means inflammation (e.g., arthritis = joint inflammation).
• The suffix -scopy means visual examination (e.g., endoscopy = viewing internal organs), not puncture (puncture is denoted by -centesis).
• The prefix exo- correctly means outside (e.g., exoskeleton = outer skeleton).

Answer:

• -scopy = puncture
