Best answer

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Pedology – Phyto geography

The correct answer is Pedology - Phytogeography.

Both are related to studies of Population.
- Demography is the study of human populations – their size, composition, and distribution across space – and the process through which populations change.
- Population geography is a study that deals with the spatial variation and analysis of the demographic components of change: migration, fertility, and mortality.
Both related to Water
- Hydrology is the science that deals with the study of water.
- Oceanology is the study of the ocean.
Both deal with humans and their culture.
- Anthropology is “the science of humanity”.
  - It is the studies of human beings in aspects ranging from the biology and evolutionary history of Homo sapiens to the features of society and culture that decisively distinguish humans from other animal species.
- Cultural geography deals with making sense of people and the places they occupy through analyses of cultural processes, cultural landscapes, and cultural identities.

Here one is related to soil and the other is related to plants.
- Phytogeography is the study of the distribution of plants or taxonomic groups of plants and its focus is to explain the ranges of plants in terms of their origin, dispersal, and evolution.
- Pedology researches the origins of soil as well as the morphology of soils and then classifies them.
  - The term pedology is derived from "pedon" meaning "soil" and "logos" which means "study".
  - Pedology is the study of soil formation, evolution, and the body of soil.

Nowadays pedologist focuses on the pedogenesis process such as the evolution and functioning of the soil.
"Vasily Vasil'evich Dukochaev" is considered as the father of the soil.
