What is the study of the structure and behavior of systems made up of many interacting parts?

  1. Ecology

  2. Economics

  3. Thermodynamics

  4. Systems Theory

The correct answer is: Systems Theory

Systems Theory is the study of the structure and behavior of systems made up of many interacting parts. Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with each other and their environment, and is not focused on the structure or behavior of systems. Economics is the study of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services and does not focus on systems. Thermodynamics is the study of energy and its transformations, but it does not specifically focus on systems and their interactions. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
