The answer is the first one: the combination of a root and a combining vowel.

Explanation for each option:

  1. The combination of a root and a combining vowel.

    • Correct. "My/o" consists of the root "my-" (which means muscle) and the combining vowel "o". This combination is used to form medical terms.
  2. The vowel that joins a root to another root or to a suffix.

    • Incorrect. While "o" is indeed a combining vowel, the term "my/o" specifically refers to the combination of the root and the combining vowel, not just the vowel itself.
  3. The ending of some words.

    • Incorrect. "My/o" is not an ending; it is a combination of a root and a combining vowel used at the beginning or middle of medical terms.
  4. The foundation of the word that provides its meaning.

    • Incorrect. The root "my-" is the foundation that provides the meaning (muscle), but "my/o" includes the combining vowel as well.
  5. The prefix at the beginning of some words.

    • Incorrect. "My/o" is not a prefix; it is a combination of a root and a combining vowel.

Summary: "My/o" is an example of the combination of a root and a combining vowel, which is used to form medical terms.
