Answer

The answer is "ic".

Explanation
Option 1: ic

The suffix "ic" is commonly used in English to form adjectives meaning "pertaining to" or "related to" a certain subject or area. For example, "historic" pertains to history, and "artistic" pertains to art.

Option 2: ago

The suffix "ago" is not typically used in English to indicate that a term pertains to a certain subject or area. It is not a standard suffix in English for this purpose.

Option 3: esis

The suffix "esis" is used to form nouns that indicate a process or action, such as "genesis" (the origin or mode of formation of something). It does not indicate that a term pertains to a certain subject or area.

Option 4: osis

The suffix "osis" is used in medical terminology to indicate a condition, disease, or increase, such as "neurosis" or "psychosis." It does not indicate that a term pertains to a certain subject or area.
