Which term corresponds to the definition 'continuous'?

• A. Potential
• B. Oral
• C. Otic
• D. Ongoing

Answer: (D)

Continuity means something that keeps going over time. Ongoing captures that sense exactly: it describes a process or condition that is in progress and continues without a defined end. In medical contexts, you might see ongoing symptoms, ongoing treatment, or ongoing monitoring, all implying persistence over time. Potential refers to something that could happen or be possible, not what is currently happening; oral relates to the mouth or administration by mouth; otic relates to the ear. Because the definition is “continuous,” ongoing is the best fit.
