B. 2.Bryology
C. 3.Palynology
D. 4.Dendrology

Answer

B

Explanation

Plants can all be classified into two orders, called tracheophytes and bryophytes. Tracheophytes are plants, like trees, flowering plants, and grasses, that have a well-developed vascular system. In contrast, bryophytes are small plants that grow close together and do not have a vascular system, which makes them very similar to those first plants that grew on Earth millions of years ago. The study of these ancient plants is called bryology, and the scientists who study them are called bryologists.
