Understanding how prefixes convey location helps you see why this option fits. In medical terms, the idea of below or under is carried by the prefix sub- (as in subcutaneous, under the skin). The choice that literally conveys the meaning of below aligns best with that concept. The other options point to opposite or unrelated ideas: above corresponds to prefixes like supra- or super-, fast is linked to tachy-, and joint would relate to arthro- or arthro- prefixes. So choosing the option that expresses below makes sense because it matches the direction indicated by the prefix we’re focusing on.
