multiple choice

autograft.
allograft.
heterograft.
xenograft.

Explanation:

Analyze the medical prefix for self

The prefix "auto-" originates from Greek, meaning "self" or "same."

Define the term for a self-graft

Combining the prefix "auto-" (self) with "-graft" (transplanted tissue) yields "autograft," which refers to tissue transplanted from one site to another on the same individual's body.

Evaluate the other options

• "allograft" uses "allo-" (other), meaning tissue from another individual of the same species.
• "heterograft" or "xenograft" uses "hetero-" (different) or "xeno-" (foreign), meaning tissue from a different species.

Answer:

• (A) autograft. (Correct answer)
• (B) allograft.
• (C) heterograft.
• (D) xenograft.
