Solution

The correct option is C astronomy
The study of heavenly bodies is termed as astronomy and option C is the correct answer.

An anthology is a published collection of poems or other pieces of writing, anthropology is the discipline studying various aspects of human beings and aetiology refers to the cause or a set of causes leading to a disease or a condition. Thus options A, B and D are evidently incorrect answers.
