Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the root word 'nephr'. In medical terminology, root words often indicate the organ or region being referred to. 'Nephr' is derived from the Greek word 'nephros', which means kidney.

Step 2: Eliminate options that are unrelated to the root word. For example, the heart, liver, and stomach do not have any direct association with the root 'nephr'.

Step 3: Recall that 'nephr' is commonly used in terms like 'nephrology' (the study of kidney function and diseases) and 'nephron' (the functional unit of the kidney). This reinforces the connection to the kidney.

Step 4: Match the root word 'nephr' to the correct organ from the options provided. The kidney is the organ associated with this root word.

Step 5: Confirm your understanding by reviewing other terms that use 'nephr', such as 'nephrectomy' (surgical removal of a kidney) or 'nephritis' (inflammation of the kidney). This helps solidify the association between 'nephr' and the kidney.
