B: “Hypo-”refers to below (or inferior to), chondra refers to cartilage – specifi cally the costal cartilages that join ribs 7 to 10 to the sternum. The abdomen immediately inferior to the rib cage is being referred to. Choices C & D are nonsense. While choice A is true in layman’s terms, we are dealing with anatomical terminology here.
