Which term means matter collected in any part of an organism?

• A. Guidelines
• B. Leverage
• C. Deposit
• D. Fascia

Answer: (C)

When a term describes material that has gathered in a part of the body, it’s a deposit. Deposit conveys the idea of matter laid down or accumulated in a location, such as fat deposits or mineral deposits in tissues. That directly matches the notion of matter collected in any part of an organism. The other terms refer to something different: guidelines are rules or instructions, leverage means mechanical advantage or influence, and fascia is a connective tissue layer around muscles and organs, not a term for accumulated matter.
