Explanation

Sericulture is the cultivation of silkworms to produce silk. Following this pattern, apiculture is the cultivation of bees for honey and other products. The '-culture' suffix means the cultivation or raising of the specified organism.

AI explanation

'Sericulture' is the specific term for the practice of rearing silkworms to produce raw silk. Following the same word-formation logic, the corresponding term for beekeeping (the practice of keeping and breeding bees, typically for honey production) is 'Apiculture', derived from the Latin 'apis' (bee). This is a standard analogy question pairing an insect with its associated husbandry term. The other options are not real, recognized terms in this domain: 'Fileology', 'Benzioculture', and 'Rearology' are invented/nonsensical words with no dictionary standing, making Apiculture the only linguistically valid and correct match.
