A Correct answer
Explanation

Astrology is the pseudoscientific predecessor to the scientific study of astronomy. Similarly, alchemy is the pseudoscientific predecessor to chemistry. Both pairs show 'pseudo-science : actual science' with the first being an unscientific, mystical version that preceded the latter's scientific method. Homeopathy and zoology don't have this historical predecessor relationship - they're separate fields. Mythology and classics aren't a science pair. Pedagogy and phenomenology aren't predecessor-successor pairs.
