Question 11
The prefix "Maculo - " comes from medical terminology (related to Medicine and Health, a subfield of Natural Science). In medical terms, "maculo - " is associated with the meaning of a large spot (e.g., macule is a flat, circumscribed area that is different in color from the surrounding skin and is often a "spot" - like lesion, and "maculo - " as a prefix relates to large spots). The other options: "Skin" has different prefixes (like "dermo - "), "Horney tissue" is related to "kerato - " etc., and "Cover" is not related to "maculo - ".
Pediculosis Corpus (body lice infestation) is spread through direct contact or sharing of personal items like fabrics (clothes, bedding) and combs that can carry the lice or their eggs. Sexual intercourse is not a common mode for body lice spread (pubic lice may be spread sexually, but body lice are different). Animal feces and unsanitary water are not typical vectors for body lice transmission.
