Question

which word part means \few, scanty\? spermat/o olig/o zo/o crypt/o

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each word part:

• "spermat/o" relates to sperm.
• "olig/o" means "few, scanty" (e.g., oliguria means scanty urine).
• "zo/o" relates to animals.
• "crypt/o" means hidden.

So the word part meaning "few, scanty" is olig/o.

Answer:

B. olig/o (assuming the options are labeled A: spermat/o, B: olig/o, C: zo/o, D: crypt/o)
