Question

ecology is the study of...
a. how living things i
b. rocks
c. weather
d. humans

Explanation:

Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between living organisms (including humans, plants, animals, etc.) and their environment. Option b (Rocks) is related to geology, option c (Weather) is related to meteorology, and option d (Humans) is too narrow as ecology studies all living things and their environment, not just humans. The correct option should be about how living things interact (even though option a's text is cut off, based on ecology's definition, it's the most appropriate among the given choices as the others are incorrect).

Answer:

a. How living things (interact with their environment, implied by ecology's definition)
