The combining form "phag/o" means to eat or swallow, as in the words "phagocyte" (a cell that engulfs and absorbs waste and foreign substances) and "dysphagia" (difficulty swallowing). The other choices have different meanings: "polyp/o" refers to a small growth or mass, "peps/o" refers to digestion, and "pancreat/o" refers to the pancreas.
