What is the correct breakdown and translation of this term?

A. endo (inside) + bronchi (bronchus) + al (pertaining to) + electro (electricity) +cauter (burn) + y (procedure) = cauterization of the inside of a bronchus using an electric current B. endo (inside) + bronchi (bronchiole) + al (pertaining to) + electro (electricity) +cauter (burn) + y (procedure) = cauterization of the inside of a bronchiole using an electric current C. endo (around) + bronchi (bronchus) + al (pertaining to) + electro (electricity) +cauter (burn) + y (procedure) = cauterization around a bronchus using an electric current D. endo (outside) + bronchi (bronchus) + al (pertaining to) + electro (electricity) +cauter (burn) + y (procedure) = cauterization of the outside of a bronchus using an electric current E. endo (outside) + bronchi (bronchiole) + al (pertaining to) + electro (electricity) +cauter (burn) + y (procedure) = cauterization of the outside of a bronchiole using an electric current
