Angiology is the study of the circulatory system and the lymphatic system. It is a branch of the medical sciences which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases related to the circulatory system and the lymphatic system.

Complete answer:
The father of angiology is William Harvey. He was an English physician who first described the systemic circulatory system in detail. He also gave the properties of blood pumped to the brain and other parts of the body. Angiology is a branch of medical science that deals with the study of the diseases of the circulatory system and of the lymphatic system. This includes the study of arteries, veins, lymphatic vessels, and their diseases. This branch of medicine is the field that deals with preventing, diagnosing, and treating vascular and blood vessel-related diseases like clots, block atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, etc. The other diseases which can be treated using angiology are thrombosis (blood clot), arterial occlusive disease, varices and lymphoedema. Angiology is also referred to as vascular medicine in some places and is a medical specialty.

So, the correct answer to this question is option a) William Harvey.

Note:
In angiology doctors use an imaging device called an angiography which is used to image all the vessels of the body. This imaging is used to find the exact location of clots that may have formed in the blood and then lodged itself in a relatively narrow vessel. A dye is injected in the bloodstream and its flow is tracked. The area where the flow of dye is not strong or is obstructed is the location of the clot.
