Solution
The correct option is B Genealogy
Tribology is the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion; of friction, lubrication, and wear.
Codicology is the study of manuscripts as cultural artefacts for historical purposes.
Numismatics refers to the systematic accumulation and study of coins.
Genealogy refers to the study of family origins and history and thus, is the branch that could provide Harsh greater clarity in this context.
