when the prefix \peri\ is in front of a base word, that prefix stands for:
inside
around
next to
under

Explanation:

The prefix "peri - " in English etymology and semantics (subfield of Arts) means "around" or "surrounding". For example, "perimeter" refers to the distance around a shape, "periscope" is a device that allows viewing around obstacles. The other options: "inside" would relate to prefixes like "intra - " or "in - ", "next to" is more related to "para - " in some contexts, and "under" is related to "sub - " or "hypo - ". So based on the meaning of the prefix "peri - ", the correct option is "around".

Answer:

around
