Answer 2

Answer:

(c) Reptiles

Explanation:

Herpetology is a scientific study of amphibians and reptiles. Like utmost other fields of invertebrate biology(e.g., ichthyology, mammalogy), herpetology is composed of a number of cross-disciplines like ecology, physiology, deconstruction, paleontology, taxonomy, and others. The scholars of recent forms are narrow in their interests, working on only one order or suborder(e.g., frogs, salamanders, snakes, lizards). A paleontologist is more likely to work with both amphibians and reptiles or with intermediate forms.
