Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Biogeography

Biogeography deals with the study of the distribution of species and ecosystem in geographical space and geological time.

Ethology is the scientific and objective study of animal behavior, usually with a focus on behavior under natural conditions, and viewing behavior as an evolutionarily adaptive trait.

Paleontology is the branch of science concerned with fossil animals and plants.

In ecology, a community or biocoenosis is an assemblage or association of populations of two or more different species occupying the same geographical area and in a particular time.

Conservation ecology is the branch of ecology and evolutionary biology that deals with the preservation and management of biodiversity and natural resources. It is a discipline that is emerging rapidly as a result of the accelerating deterioration of natural systems and the worldwide epidemic of species extinctions.

So, the correct answer is option C.
