Which term is the study of Fungi?

• A. Autotrophs
• B. Mycology
• C. Phycology
• D. Protozoa

Answer: (B)

The main concept is naming the field of study for a group of organisms. The term for the study of fungi is mycology, the biology branch that explores fungi such as yeasts, molds, and mushrooms, including their structure, genetics, physiology, ecology, and classification. The other terms describe either organisms or groups rather than a field of study: autotrophs are organisms that make their own food, phycology studies algae, and protozoa refers to a group of single-celled organisms.
