What does the suffix "-dynia" point to in a medical context?

  1. Above, upon

  2. Bad, painful

  3. Pain

  4. Vomiting

The correct answer is: Bad, painful

The suffix "-dynia" typically refers to a condition or sensation of pain. This makes option C, which states "pain", the most accurate choice. The other options do not accurately correspond with the meaning of the suffix in a medical context. Option A, "above, upon", does not relate to pain in any way. Option D, "vomiting", is a completely unrelated symptom. While option B, "bad, painful", may seem like a plausible choice, it is important to remember that the suffix is specifically pointing to pain, not just discomfort or unpleasantness.
