The correct answer is: Genitals

The prefix "genit-" specifically refers to the genitals or reproductive organs in a medical context. It originates from the Latin word "genitalis," which relates to birth or reproduction. This prefix commonly appears in medical terms that describe conditions, structures, or functions associated with the genitalia, such as "genitourinary," which refers to the urinary system and the reproductive organs. Understanding such prefixes is vital for accurately interpreting and communicating medical terminology, particularly in contexts related to human anatomy and reproductive health.
