What does the suffix 'itis' mean?

  1. Growth

  2. Inflammation

  3. Reduction

  4. Increase

The correct answer is: Inflammation

The suffix -itis typically means inflammation, as seen in medical terms such as tonsillitis or arthritis. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not relate to inflammation. Growth, reduction, and increase do not involve inflammation and would not have the suffix -itis.
