The word that uses the root meaning "water" is **A) carbohydrate**.
The root "hydra" comes from the Greek word for water, and "carbo" refers to carbon, so "carbohydrate" relates to compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen – the latter typically hydrogen atoms which relate to the concept of water (H₂O).
The other options do not contain the water-related root.
