Anthropology is the science dealing with which subject?

• A. The science dealing with weather patterns
• B. The study of rocks and minerals
• C. The science dealing with origin, races, customs, and beliefs of humankind
• D. The science of the brain wiring

Answer: (C)

Anthropology focuses on humans in all their aspects—from origins and evolution to the diversity of cultures, customs, and beliefs that shape how people live. That scope is exactly what the choice describes: origin, races, customs, and beliefs of humankind. The other options point to different sciences—weather patterns are studied in meteorology, rocks and minerals in geology, and brain wiring in neuroscience—areas that don’t aim to understand humans across cultures in the same broad sense. So the correct description captures anthropology’s comprehensive study of human beings.
