Answer:
A. In pedometer, ped comes from the Latin pedis, which means "foot."
Explanation:
Etymology is the study of the history of words. Basically, you want to find out the origins of the word. Therefore, A is the correct choice as it describes how the word "pedometer" came to be, originating from the Latin word meaning foot. Etymology is not the synonyms, definition, or pronunciation of a word and thus you can rule out B, C, and D.
Overall, either by ruling out choices or by the definition of etymology, A is the correct answer.
In revision A, if you read the sentence out loud you will see that it doesn't flow very well.
In revision B, the semicolon is used incorrectly. Semicolons are used to connect two independent clauses. The second sentence (the one after the semicolon) is actually a dependent clause since it's a sentence that can't stand on its own.
In revision D, the sentence is a fragment.
The correct revision is answer choice C.
