Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine the etymology of "homogeneous", we analyze the roots. "Homo-" (from Greek "homos") means "same", and "-geneous" comes from Greek "genos" meaning "kind" or "race". This matches the second option's description of Greek origins with those meanings. Other options use incorrect language roots (Latin, Old English, French) or mismatched meanings.

Answer:

derived from the Greek words "homos" and "genos" meaning "same" and "kind" or "race"
