The correct option is B Dendrochronology
Determination of age by counting growth rings falls under dendrochronology. It deals with the dating tree rings to the exact year they were formed. This helps in analyzing atmospheric conditions during different periods in the past.
Dendrology is the study of trees.
Chronology is the sequential order in which a particular event occurred in the past.
Chorology is the study of geographic distributions and variations of the earth's surface.
