Solution
The correct option is B Genetics
The branch of biology that deals with heredity and variation is genetics. Gregor Mendel is the father of genetics.
Reproduction (or procreation or breeding) is the biological process by which "new individual organisms" are produced from their "parents". Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all known life forms; each individual organism exists as the result of reproduction.
Sericulture is the production of silk and the rearing of silkworms for this purpose.
Evolution is the change in the heritable traits of biological populations over successive generations.
