Question

Explanation:

To determine the word root of "geology", we analyze word structure. A word root carries the core meaning. "Geo" comes from Greek meaning "earth", and "logy" means "study of". So the root (carrying the core concept of earth) is "geo". "Geolo" is not a standard root, "ogy" is part of the suffix -ology, and "logy" is a combining form/suffix.

Answer:

B. geo
