Mantle
Show Solution
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
- "Eccrinology" is built from a root for secretion plus "-logy" (study of), so it means the study of secretions.
- "Selenography" is built from "seleno-," the Greek root for the moon, plus "-graphy" (description of), so it means the description or study of the moon.
- Options (A), (C) and (D), sun, crust and mantle, are each described by different roots, not "seleno-."
So the correct answer is (B) Moon.
