Option B. “Hypo-”refers to below (or not as good as), chondra refers to carti- lage – specifi cally the costal cartilages that be a part of ribs 7 to ten to the sternum. The stomach right away not as good as the rib cage is being referred to. Choices C & D are nonsense. While desire A is actual in layman’s terms, we're dealing with anatomical terminology here.
