What is the combining form for 'woman'?

  1. Andro

  2. Pedo

  3. Gyneco

  4. Hemo

The correct answer is: Gyneco

The combining form for 'woman' is 'gyneco', which comes from the Greek word for 'woman' (gyne). This form is used in medical terminology to describe conditions or procedures related to the female reproductive system. 'Andro', 'pedo', and 'hemo' are not related to the word 'woman' and are incorrect options. 'Andro' means 'male', 'pedo' is a prefix meaning 'child', and 'hemo' refers to blood. These forms are not associated with the female body or gender.
