Explanation:

1. A microscope is commonly used in microbiology to study microorganisms.
2. A rabbit is an animal, and zoology is the study of animals.
3. A tree is a plant, and botany is the study of plants.
4. The image shows an environment - organism interaction, which is the focus of ecology.
5. There is no clear - cut science field from the given list for this image (it seems to be a general human interaction image, but no relevant field from the list).
6. A botanist studies plants, so it matches with 'c'.
7. An ecologist studies interactions between organisms and their environment, so it matches with 'e'.
8. A zoologist studies animals, so it matches with 'a'.
9. A geneticist studies how features of organisms are passed along to offspring, so it matches with 'd'.
10. A microbiologist studies organisms too small to be seen with the eye alone, so it matches with 'b'.
