What is the study of the distribution, abundance, and biology of organisms?

  1. Agronomy

  2. Ornithology

  3. Taxonomy

  4. Ecology

The correct answer is: Ecology

Ecology is the scientific study of the relationships between organisms and their environments. It includes studying the distribution and abundance of organisms and their interactions with each other and their surroundings. A) Agronomy is the study of crops and soil management and is not directly related to the study of organisms. B) Ornithology is the study of birds and their behavior, not the distribution and abundance of all organisms. C) Taxonomy is the science of classifying organisms into different groups based on their characteristics, but it does not focus on distribution and abundance.
