Solution

The correct option is C Genetics
  • Genetics is the study of genes, heredity and genetic variation in living things. It is a field of biology, but it intersects frequently with many of the life sciences and is strongly linked with the study of information systems.
  • Paleontology is the branch of science concerned with fossil animals and plants.
  • Evolution is a change in the heritable traits of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organization, including the levels of species, individual organisms, and molecules.
  • Ecology is the scientific analysis and study of interactions among organisms and their environment. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes biology and Earth science.
