The answer is A: eponym.

Explanation for each option:

a. Eponym: This is the correct answer. An eponym is a term derived from the name of a person. In medicine, many diseases, conditions, or anatomical structures are named after the people who discovered them or were first associated with them. For example, Alzheimer's disease is named after Alois Alzheimer.

b. Synonym: This is incorrect. A synonym is a word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word in the same language. It is not related to names of people.

c. Anonym: This is incorrect. Anonym refers to something that is anonymous or without a name. It does not relate to medical terms derived from people's names.

d. Abbreviation: This is incorrect. An abbreviation is a shortened form of a word or phrase. It is not related to terms derived from people's names.
