Analogy — Domain and branch of study: Animal : Zoology

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Body : Physiology

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The pattern is subject matter→study of that matter. Animals are studied in zoology; we need the corresponding pairing.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Zoology studies animals.
  • Physiology studies functions of living bodies.


Concept / Approach:
Pick a pair where the right-hand term is a scientific discipline studying the left-hand domain.


Step-by-Step Solution:

1) “Body : Physiology” → physiology studies body functions.2) Other options either mismatch or are not “study of.”


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Disease : Bacteriology: bacteriology studies bacteria, not all diseases.
  • Poems : Anthology: anthology is a collection, not a study.
  • Man : Philanthropy: philanthropy is charitable action, not a science of man (that would be anthropology).
  • None of these: incorrect since option A fits.


Common Pitfalls:
Confusing “-ology” fields that are collections or actions rather than studies.


Final Answer:
Body : Physiology
