Solution

The correct option is B Allometry
Allometry is the study of the relationship of body size to shape, anatomy, physiology and finally behaviour. It was first outlined by Otto Snell in 1892. Allometry is a salient feature of the covariance structures of most complex morphologies and remains an essential concept for the study of evolution and development.
So, the correct answer is 'Allometry'.
