Explanation:

Identify word roots and combining forms

The medical term is "HYDROCEPHALUS".

• "hydr/o" is a combining form meaning water or fluid.
• "cephal/o" is a combining form meaning head or brain.
• "-us" is a noun suffix.

Determine the split locations

To split the term into its constituent word parts:

• The first part is the combining form/root: "HYDRO" (or "HYDR" + "O").
• The second part is the root: "CEPHAL".
• The third part is the suffix: "US".

Therefore, the word parts are: HYDRO / CEPHAL / US.
The splits should be placed between O and C, and between L and U:
HYDRO | CEPHAL | US

Answer:

HYDRO / CEPHAL / US
