Correct Answer - Option 4 : C

The incorrect pair is Biology: Botany.

  • Mycology:
    • It is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi, including their genetic and biochemical properties, their taxonomy, and their use to humans as a source for tinder, traditional medicine, food, and entheogens, as well as their dangers, such as toxicity or infection. Hence, pair B is correct.
  • Phycology:
    • It is the scientific study of algae.
    • Also known as algology, phycology is a branch of life science. Hence, pair D is correct.

  • Biology:
    • ​It is the natural science that studies life and living organisms, including their physical structure, chemical processes, molecular interactions, physiological mechanisms, development, and evolution. 
  • Botany:
    • It is also called plant science, plant biology, or phytology is the science of plant life and a branch of biology.

Hence, pair c is incorrect.
