What is the study of fossils called?

Paleontology
Geology
Prehistory
Archaeology

The correct answer is: Paleontology

Paleontology is the study of fossils, so it is the correct answer. Geology is the study of the Earth's physical structure and substance, while prehistory refers to human existence before written records. Archaeology is the study of human history through the excavation and analysis of artifacts. While these fields may involve the study of fossils, they are not solely focused on them, making them incorrect options.
