What is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes?

  1. Neurology

  2. Psychology

  3. Physics

  4. Sociology

The correct answer is: Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Option A, neurology, is incorrect because it specifically focuses on the study of the nervous system and its disorders. Option C, physics, is incorrect because it deals with the study of matter and its motion through space and time. Option D, sociology, is incorrect because it is the study of human social behavior and its origins, development, organizations, and institutions. Therefore, none of the other options encompass the broad scope of behavior and mental processes like psychology does.
