Answer: B) Book.

Explanation: a word root is the most basic part of a word (without any prefixes or suffixes). From the meaning of the words "bibliography" that means a list of the books of a specific author or publisher, or on a specific subject, and "bible" which is the sacred scriptures of some religions, we can know that the meaning of the word "biblio" is "book" (corresponding to option B).
