Core- corresponds to which meaning?

Explanation:
Understanding how word parts map to meanings helps decode these items. The root core- conveys the idea of the center or central part. The pupil is the central opening of the eye through which light enters, so it best fits a sense of a core or central element. The other options point to parts that aren’t tied to this central/opening sense—skin is the outer covering, gelatin/neck isn’t a standard anatomical term, and colon is a specific organ.
