Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: "ureter/o" is the combining form for the ureter (a tube carrying urine from kidney to bladder), not the uterus.
• Option b: "urethr/o" is for the urethra (tube for urine excretion), not the uterus.
• Option c: "oophor/o" is for the ovary, not the uterus.
• Option d: "metr/i" (or "uter/o" is also common, but among the given options) "metr/i" is a combining form for the uterus (e.g., "endometriosis" relates to the uterine lining).

Answer:

d. metr/i
