The root flu or fluc means which concept?

Explanation:
Flu- or fluc- signals flow. This root shows up in words linked to movement, streaming, or ongoing change—fluid, flux, influx, influence, fluctuate—where the sense is something that moves or changes like a river of ideas or liquid. So the concept being tested is flow. The other options don’t fit because they come from different roots: brightness comes from a root related to light, stopping or pausing from a root meaning stop, and fighting from a root tied to combat.
