Solution

The correct option is B Mycology
Fungi are a subsection of eukaryotes. Fungi are heterotrophs, which means they consume other organic products. Types of fungi include both molds and yeasts. Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi, including their genetic and biochemical properties, their taxonomy and their use to humans as a source for tinder, traditional medicine, food, and entheogens, as well as their dangers, such as toxicity or infection.
So, the correct answer is 'Mycology'
