(1 point)
○ kinesiology
○ chronology
○ biology
○ geology

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option by breaking down the Greek roots:

• kinesiology: "kinesio - " means "movement" and "-logy" means "a branch of study". Exercise and physical activity involve movement, so this fits.
• chronology: "chrono - " means "time", so it's about time (e.g., timeline), not exercise.
• biology: "bio - " means "life", so it's the study of life, not exercise.
• geology: "geo - " means "earth", so it's the study of the earth, not exercise.

Answer:

A. kinesiology
