Explanation:

Question 43

• Audiologist: Focuses on hearing and balance disorders, not all ear, nose, throat (ENT) issues.
• Otologist: Specializes in ear disorders only, not nose and throat.
• Audiology: Is the study of hearing, not a practitioner treating ENT.
• Otorhinolaryngologist: Specializes in diseases/disorders of ear, nose, throat.

• "Opto" relates to eye/sight, "metr" to measurement, "ist" to specialist. So "Optometrist" literally means one who measures sight.
• "A specialist in sight management" is a general role description, not literal meaning.
• "A specialist in the eye" is too vague.
• "A specialist in eye diseases" is an ophthalmologist’s role, not optometrist.

Answer:

D. Otorhinolaryngologist
