• B. Human races
• C. Animal behaviour
• D. Bird nests

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Human races

Ethnology is the branch of anthropology that compares and analyzes the characteristics of different peoples and the relationships between them (cultural, social, or sociocultural anthropology). Compared to ethnography, the study of single groups through direct contact with the culture, ethnology takes the research that ethnographers have compiled and then compares and contrasts different cultures. Hence, ethnology is the science of human races.

So, the correct answer is 'human races'.
