    Correct Answer

This design allows for a more streamlined and efficient transportation system. Monorails are often used in urban areas or theme parks where space is limited. They are known for their futuristic appearance and ability to transport large numbers of people quickly and efficiently.

    The given options are all prefixes that indicate "one" or "single." The correct answer is "mono" or "uni" because both of these prefixes can be used to mean "one" or "single." "Mono" is commonly used in words like "monochrome" (one color) or "monopoly" (single control), while "uni" is used in words like "unicorn" (one horn) or "unicycle" (one wheel). Therefore, either "mono" or "uni" can be used to indicate "one" or "single."
