Explanation:

Question 41

The Greek word "septikos" is related to concepts of poison or putrefying (decay), which aligns with the meaning of septicemia (blood poisoning). The other options (rotting, gangrenous or green, bloody) do not match the etymology of "septikos".

Coronary artery disease is most commonly caused by atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of plaque in the arteries. Infarction is a result of blocked blood flow (like a heart attack), edema is fluid buildup, and congestive heart failure is a condition, not the primary cause of coronary artery disease.

Answer:

poison or putrefying
