The suffix "-iasis" indicates an abnormal condition, such as "thrushiasis" (an abnormal condition caused by a yeast infection). The other choices have different meanings: "-lysis" means breakdown or destruction, "-emia" means blood condition or presence of a substance in the blood, and "-weakness" refers directly to a lack of strength.
