The Study of organisms inhabiting the sea and Ocean and the physical and chemical characteristics of their environment is:

Correct answer: B. Marine Biology

  • A. Social Biology
  • B. Marine Biology
  • C. Environmental Biology
  • D. Fresh Water Biology

Explanation

Marine biology studies organisms living in seas and oceans along with the physical and chemical conditions of marine environments. Freshwater biology is limited to rivers, lakes, and other low-salinity habitats, while environmental biology covers environments more generally. The likely alternative is environmental biology because the question mentions environmental characteristics, but the sea and ocean make marine biology the specific field.
