Solution

The correct option is B Oekologie
Answer is option B i.e. "Oekologie"
The term ecology was coined by combining two Greek words, oikos (meaning 'house' or 'dwelling place') and logos (meaning 'the study of') to denote such relationships between the organisms and their environment. Thus, literally, ecology is the study of organisms 'at home'.
