What is the scientific study of behavior?

Psychotherapy
Sociology
Psychology
Neuropsychology

The correct answer is: Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior because it is the branch of science that focuses on understanding and analyzing human behavior, thoughts, and emotions. While psychotherapy is a type of treatment for psychological disorders, sociology is the study of society, and neuropsychology specifically focuses on the relationship between the brain and behavior. Although these subjects may overlap with psychology, they are not solely focused on the scientific study of behavior. Therefore, the most accurate answer is C Psychology.
