Explanation:

Question 5

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: "urethrocystitis" - "urethro-" refers to urethra, "cyst-" refers to bladder, and "-itis" means inflammation. So this means inflammation of urethra and bladder.
• Option B: "ureterocystitis" - "uretero-" refers to ureter, not urethra, so this is inflammation of ureter and bladder, not what we need.
• Option C: "nephrolithiasis" - This refers to kidney stones (nephro- kidney, lithiasis - stone formation), not inflammation of urethra and bladder.
• Option D: "glomerulonephritis" - This is inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidney, not related to urethra and bladder.

Analyze each option:

• Option A: "ureterectomy" - "-ectomy" means removal, so this is removal of ureter, not creation of opening.
• Option B: "ureterostomy" - "-ostomy" means creation of an artificial opening. "Uretero-" refers to ureter, so this is creation of artificial opening in ureter.
• Option C: "ureterotomy" - "-otomy" means incision (cutting into), not creation of an opening (stoma).
• Option D: "urethropexy" - This is related to urethra (urethro-) and "pexy" means fixation, so it's fixation of urethra, not related to ureter opening.

Answer:

A. urethrocystitis
