A) otonasolaryngology
B) otorhinolaryngology
C) otonasopharyngology

study of; hence, otorhinolaryngology means study of the ear, nose, and voice box. Nas/o does
mean nose, but otonasolaryngology is not the term commonly known for the study of the ear,
nose, and voice box. Pharyng/o means pharynx, so otonasopharyngology would mean study of
the ear, nose, and pharynx. Otorhinolaryngologist is a specialist in the study of the ear, nose, and
voice box.
