Question

The study of animal behaviour is

• A. Ecology
• B. Ethology
• C. Taxonomy
• D. Physiology

Hint:

Ethology = behaviour, Ecology = environment interactions, Taxonomy = classification, Physiology = functions. Always match the context: “study of behaviour” directly points to Ethology.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Ethology is the scientific study of animal behavior in natural conditions. It examines instincts, learning, communication, mating, and other behaviors. Ecology studies interactions with the environment, Taxonomy classifies organisms, and Physiology studies functions of the body. Hence, the correct answer is Ethology.
