The acronym 'sc' is also said as 'sub q'. What does it mean?

subsequent
subquery
subcutaneous
subconscious

The correct answer is: subcutaneous

"Sc" typically stands for "subcutaneous", meaning "under the skin". This option is correct because "sub q" is also used as an abbreviation for "subcutaneous". The other options - subsequent, subquery, and subconscious - do not have any association with "sc". They do not make sense in this context and are therefore incorrect.
