Which prefix means Over; above; beyond?

• A. Hyper-
• B. Post-
• C. Supra-
• D. Ante-

Answer: (C)

Supra- denotes above, over, or beyond in a positional sense. It’s used in medical terms to indicate a location that is higher than another structure, such as supraorbital (above the eye socket) or suprapubic (above the pubic area). That spatial sense fits the prompt’s meaning of “over; above; beyond” most directly.

Hyper- can also imply above or beyond, but it usually conveys excessive or above-normal magnitude (hyperglycemia, hypertension) rather than a literal position. Ante- means before, and post- means after, so they don’t match the sense of above or over.
