(a)Study of elephants
(b)Study of snakes
(c)Study of amphibians
(d)None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Edaphology is defined as the influences of soil on living things specifically plants which are of two main divisions of soil sciences other than pedology. It is related to the science of soil and its characteristics.

Complete answer:
Edaphology includes the study of how human beings use the land for plant growth and the uses of land overall. The study of soil science about soil morphology and soil classification is pedology. Edaphology influences humankind's use of land for plant growth and constitutes general subfields that are agricultural soil science and environmental soil science. It is equivalent to pedology as it can be recognized to have applied sense with agrophysics and agrochemistry. The application which deals with the production of soil crops and places particular emphasis on plant nutrients of importance to farming and horticulture includes agricultural soil science. The studies of interaction with the pedosphere beyond crop production are environmental soil science which works on the applied aspects of field addresses and land treatment of wastewater, erosion control, soil contamination with certain metals, and pesticides. It involves the study of soil in the context of global warming, land use planning, and acid rain. Soil husbandry seeks to sustain the agricultural soil resource which is the strong tradition with the use of soil conditioners and cover crops.

Additional Information: Study of elephants: The animal cognition elephant which is the study of elephants is considered the world's most intelligent animals and constitutes about 5 kg of mass of the brain that is more than that of any other land animal. Elephants are known to be highly altruistic animals that aid other species that include humans.
Study of snakes: Study of snakes is known as herpetology which includes the study of cold-blooded or ac2 thermic tetrapods which is not uncommon for herpetological and ethological scientific societies. The toxins and venom released by reptiles are used as medicines for humans and the snake venom is used to create anticoagulants that work to treat strokes and heart attack.
Study of amphibians: The study of amphibians is known as herpetology which includes the study of reptiles and amphibians which offers benefit to humanity e as they are very sensitive to environmental changes and offer a visible warning to humans about the significant changes that take place.
So, the correct answer is 'none of the above'.

Note: Elephants are considered as the world's largest land animal which eats constantly and communicates through vibrations. Snakes do not contain eyelids and can swallow their food rather biting. The skin of the amphibians prevents loss of water and the eyelids are adapted to vision outside of the water.
