The answer is the first one (or A): Scop/e - instrument used to look.

Explanation for each option: a. Scop/e - instrument used to look: This is correct. The suffix "scope" refers to an instrument used to look or observe. In the term "arthroscope," it indicates a device used to look inside a joint. b. Thosc/o - chest: This is incorrect. "Thosc/o" is not a recognized medical term or suffix related to "scope." c. Scop/e-vessel: This is incorrect. The suffix "scope" does not refer to a vessel; it refers to an instrument used for viewing. d. Arthr/o-vessel: This is incorrect. "Arthr/o" refers to a joint, not a vessel. e. Arthr/o- joint: This is partially correct in that "arthr/o" refers to a joint, but it does not explain the suffix "scope."

Summary: The suffix "scope" in the term "arthroscope" refers to an instrument used to look. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
