Explanation

Bibliophobia is the fear of books, derived from Greek 'biblio' meaning books. Option A is incorrect - fear of libraries is 'bibliophobia' in some contexts but more specifically 'libophobia' - they're closely related but bibliophobia is the fear of books themselves. Option C is wrong - fear of forests is 'hylophobia'. Option D is incorrect - fear of the Bible would be 'bibliophobia' in a specific context but the general term refers to all books.
