What does the medical prefix "cardi(o)" typically stand for?

Heart
Life
Seizure
Clot

The correct answer is: Heart

The medical prefix "cardi(o)" typically stands for heart. This prefix is often used to refer to medical terms related to the heart, such as cardiac (related to the heart) and cardiologist (a doctor specializing in heart health). Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not pertain to the heart. "Life" (option B) may be incorrect because while the heart is essential for life, it does not directly refer to it in medical terminology. "Seizure" (option C) may be incorrect because the prefix "cardi(o)" pertains to the heart, not seizures. Lastly, "clot" (option D) may be incorrect because while the heart can experience blood clots, it is not a defining characteristic of the prefix "cardi(o)". Therefore, the most accurate answer is A.
