Answer 1

Botany is the branch of science which deals with the examination of species belonging to the kingdom Plantae, also recognized as plants. Botany is derived from the adjective botanic, which is derived from the Ancient Greek word Botan, which meant "plants, grasses, and pastures". Botany may also refer to the biology of a specific species of plant (for example, the botany of flowering plants) or the plant life of a particular region (e.g., the botany of the rainforest). A botanist is an individual who studies botany.

Complete explanation:
Option A: Ornithology is a department of zoology apprehensive with the "methodological exploration and successive understanding of birds and anything associated with them". Because of the high visibility and visual appeal of birds, ornithology differs from similar disciplines in many ways.
Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option B: Botany is the analysis of species fitting to the Plantae world, also comprehended as plants. Botany arises from the adjective botanic, which is originated from the Ancient Greek term Botan, which meant "plants, grasses, and pastures".
Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option C: Entomology, an area of zoology, is the scientific investigation of insects. Historically, the term "insect" was less descriptive, and entomology included the study of animals belonging to other arthropod groups, such as arachnids, myriapods, and crustaceans.
As a result, option C is correct.
Option D: Herpetology is the examination of amphibians (such as frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians (Gymnophiona) and reptiles (such as snakes, lizards, amphisbaenids, turtles, terrapins, tortoises, and crocodilians).
Hence, option D is incorrect.

Hence, Option C. is the correct answer.

Note:
Botany is derived from the Ancient Greek word (Botan), which means "pasture", "herbs", "grass", or "fodder", as well as "to eat" or "to graze". Mycologists and phycologists, respectively, have traditionally studied fungi and algae as part of botany, with the research of these three classes of species remaining within the scope of the International Botanical Congress. Botanists (in the stringent sense) nowadays break down about $410,000$ species of land plants, of which $391,000$ are vascular plants (including approximately $369,000$ species of flowering plants) and $20,000$ are bryophytes.
