I'm a little confused on this one. The options don't seem to match up with what I know about the prefix "peri". I'll have to guess and hope for the best.

Okay, let me think this through. "Peri" is a prefix, and based on words I know like "perimeter" and "peripheral", I think it means "around". I'll go with C.
