The right option is Prostatitis.

Prostatitis is a mild condition that is characterized by a rise in the level of prostate specific antigen (PSA).  Prostatitis causes the swelling and inflammation of the prostate gland (a walnut-sized gland situated directly below the bladder in men). The prostate gland produces fluid (semen) that nourishes and transports sperm. Prostatitis affects men of all ages but tends to be more common in men of 50 years or younger.

Here, Carlo wants to determine the the effect of day length on plants' growth. The test variable here is thus the duration of sunlight. In experimental group, this duration will be changed to determine its effect. In control group it will be kept constant so that results from other factors can be excluded from the observed experimental result.

Explanation: In medicine, the practitioners divide the lower part of the body known as the 'abdomen' with imaginary lines ( one vertical and one horizontal) to form the 'Quadrants' and (two vertical and two horizontal) the 'Regions'. The Quadrants are divided into four main parts:

1) Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ)

2) Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ)

3) Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ)

4) Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ)

The regions are divided into nine parts:

1) Left Hypochondriac Region

2) Right Hypochondriac Region

3) Epigastric Region

4) Left Lumbar Region

5) Right Lumbar Region

6) Umbilical Region

7) Right Iliac/Inguinal Region

8) Left Iliac/Inguinal Region

9) Hypogastric Region.

The abdomen is divided into regions in order to help medical practitioners and students easily understand the abdominal area of the body as well as the human anatomy. It also helps them provide preliminary diagnosis and treatment based on pain emanating from each region or quadrant.
