What does the prefix 'hyper' indicate?

Under technique
The study of something
More than normal
Condition

The correct answer is: More than normal

The prefix 'hyper' itself means 'excessive', 'beyond', or 'above'. It is typically used to refer to things that are abnormally high or increased, such as 'hypertension' (high blood pressure) or 'hyperactive' (excessively active). Therefore, options A, B, and D are not correct as they do not convey the meaning of 'excessive' or 'beyond'. Option A suggests the opposite of 'hyper', option B is too broad and not specific enough, and option D is also too broad and does not specifically indicate anything excessive or beyond normal. Therefore, option C is the most accurate choice as it correctly conveys the meaning of the prefix 'hyper'.
