What is the study of the physical and chemical properties of elements and compounds?

Anatomy
Genetics
Human Physiology
Chemistry

The correct answer is: Chemistry

Chemistry is the study of the physical and chemical properties of elements and compounds. This field of science deals with the composition, structure, and properties of substances, as well as the changes they undergo. Anatomy (A) is the study of the structure of living organisms. Genetics (B) is the study of genes, inheritance, and variation in living organisms. Human Physiology (C) is the study of how the human body functions. While all of these fields may involve elements and compounds, they do not focus specifically on their physical and chemical properties. Therefore, they are not the correct answers.
