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
