Explanation:

First Question (-logy):

The suffix "-logy" in medical and general terminology means "the study of". For example, biology is the study of life, geology is the study of the earth. The other options: "outside" relates to prefixes like "extra-" or "ecto-", "producing" to suffixes like "-genic", "inflammation" to "-itis", and "upon" to prefixes like "epi-". So the correct meaning for "-logy" is "study of".

The word roots "oste-", "oss-", and "ost-" all pertain to bones. For example, osteology is the study of bones, osteoporosis is a condition related to bones. Ligaments are related to "lig-" roots, bone marrow is "myelo-", tendons to "ten-" or "tendino-", and cartilage to "chondr-". So the correct association is with bones.

Answer:

A. study of (assuming the first option is labeled A, but based on the options, the one with "study of" is the correct choice)
