Correct answer: C. Parasitology
- A. Anatomy
- B. Physiology
- C. Parasitology
- D. Social Biology
Explanation
Parasitology is the branch of biology that studies parasites, including their life cycles, modes of transmission, and interactions with hosts. Anatomy studies structure and physiology studies function, while social biology concerns interactions among organisms or people rather than host-parasite relationships. Students may choose physiology because a parasite affects host functions, but the complete subject described is parasitology.
