Explanation
Oology is the branch of zoology that specializes in the study of eggs, especially bird eggs. The term comes from the Greek word 'oon' meaning egg. Herpetology studies reptiles, ichthyology studies fish, ornithology studies birds.
AI explanation
Oology is the branch of zoology specifically concerned with the study of eggs, particularly birds' eggs (their collection, structure, and identification). Herpetology studies reptiles and amphibians, ichthyology studies fish, and ornithology studies birds broadly (not eggs specifically) — so while ornithology is related, oology is the precise term for egg study. Oology is correct.
