If neuro refers to the nerves or nervous system, an inflammation of the nerves would be called which of the following?

A. neurology

B. nervous

C. neuroism

D. neuritis

D. neuritis.

Explanation:

The suffix - itis which comes from Greek means inflammation. Since the root neuro refers to the nerves or nervous system, like the question said, it means that the combination of neuro and - itis in neuritis means an inflammation of the nerves.

Neurology is the study of nerves; nervous is the state of being anxious or worried; neuroism doesn't exist in English.
