One who studies disease is known as?

Cardiologist
Pathologist
Oncologist
Dermatologist

The correct answer is: Pathologist

A Pathologist is a medical professional who specializes in studying diseases in order to make accurate diagnoses and develop effective treatments. Cardiologists study diseases of the heart, Oncologists study cancer, and Dermatologists study conditions of the skin. While these may be related to a broader study of diseases, they are not specifically trained in diagnosing and treating diseases in general like a Pathologist is. Therefore, Pathologist is the most appropriate answer for the question.
