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.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
