Choose an option
Answer
Correct Answer: Body : Physiology
Explanation
Introduction / Context:The pattern is subject matter→study of that matter. Animals are studied in zoology; we need the corresponding pairing.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Zoology studies animals.
- Physiology studies functions of living bodies.
Concept / Approach:Pick a pair where the right-hand term is a scientific discipline studying the left-hand domain.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) “Body : Physiology” → physiology studies body functions.2) Other options either mismatch or are not “study of.”Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- Disease : Bacteriology: bacteriology studies bacteria, not all diseases.
- Poems : Anthology: anthology is a collection, not a study.
- Man : Philanthropy: philanthropy is charitable action, not a science of man (that would be anthropology).
- None of these: incorrect since option A fits.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing “-ology” fields that are collections or actions rather than studies.
Final Answer:Body : Physiology
