A Correct answer
Explanation

Genetics is the specific branch of biology that studies heredity (the passing of traits from parents to offspring) and variation (the differences that exist between individuals). While biology is the broader study of life, biotechnology applies biological knowledge to technology, and botany specifically studies plants - genetics is the precise term for the study of heredity and variation across all organisms.
