What is the study of the origin, development, and eventual fate of the universe?

Astronomy
Physics
Chemistry
Biology

The correct answer is: Astronomy

A is the correct answer because astronomy specifically studies celestial objects and phenomena and their evolution, which includes the origin, development, and fate of the universe. Physics, on the other hand, deals with the fundamental laws and forces of nature and their interactions. While some aspects of physics may overlap with astronomy, it is not the specific focus of the field. Chemistry and biology also have overlapping areas with some aspects of astronomy, such as astrochemistry and astrophysics, but they do not encompass the entirety of the study of the universe.
