• Helminthology is the study of parasitic worms (helminths), while helminthiasis describes the medical condition of being infected with helminths. Helminthology studies the taxonomy of helminths and their effects on their hosts.
  
• Entomology is the scientific study of insects, a branch of zoology.
• Ornithology is a branch of zoology that is concerned with the study of birds. The science of ornithology has a long history and studies on birds have helped to develop several key concepts in evolution, behaviour and ecology.
  
• Phycology or algology is a branch of life science and often is regarded as a subdiscipline of botany which involves the study of algae. Algae are important as primary producers in aquatic ecosystems.
  

So, the correct answer is 'B'.
