The root "bio" is derived from the Greek word "bios," which means "life." This root is commonly used in words related to living organisms, such as biology (the study of living organisms) and biography (the story of someone's life). Therefore, "life" is the correct meaning of the root "bio."

The root "ex-" in words typically means "out" or "outside of." It is commonly used to indicate separation, removal, or exclusion. For example, "exit" means to go out, "exclude" means to keep out, and "extract" means to remove. Therefore, the correct answer "out" accurately reflects the meaning of the root "ex-".
