To determine the literal meaning of "Dermato/plast/y", we analyze the word parts: "Dermato-" relates to skin, "plast-" (from "plastos" or "plasty") means surgical repair or molding, and "-y" is a suffix meaning "process of". So we match this to the option with "skin/surgical repair/process of".

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease, and it is also known as Hansen’s disease, named after the physician who discovered the causative agent. Elephantiasis is related to lymphatic filariasis, atopic dermatitis is a type of eczema, and donovanosis is a different bacterial infection.
