What is pathology?

  1. Study of medicine

  2. Study of surgeries

  3. Study of disease

  4. Study of the brain

The correct answer is: Study of disease

Pathology is defined as the study of diseases, including their causes, development, and effects on the body. Although the study of medicine is a broad term and may involve some components of pathology, it is not the same as the specific focus on diseases. Similarly, the study of surgeries involves the practical application of medical knowledge, but not the understanding of diseases themselves. The study of the brain, or neuroscience, is a subfield of pathology but does not encompass the entire field. Therefore, the correct answer is C, the study of disease, as it best encompasses the scope and focus of pathology.
