Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words. The study of mountains
Answer: A
The word is Orology.
Orology is the study of mountains. Philology is the study of languages, geography is the study of the earth's surface and topography is the description of land features.
So only orology means the study of mountains.
The ending '-ology' means the study of, and the Greek 'oros' means mountain. So the study of mountains is orology. Do not confuse this with 'orography', the description of relief, or 'oology', the study of eggs.
