He specialised in the science and technology of metals at university.Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Metallurgy
Meaning: metallurgy = the science and technology of metals — their extraction, refining and working *(धातु विज्ञान, धातुकर्म)*.
"He specialised in metallurgy at university" — the branch of study that deals with metals.
Why the others are wrong.
• archaeology = the study of ancient remains and sites *(पुरातत्व विज्ञान)*.
• meteorology = the study of weather and the atmosphere *(मौसम विज्ञान)* — a sound-alike trap for metallurgy.
• anthropology = the study of human beings and their societies *(मानव विज्ञान)*.
Word help.
specialised = studied one subject in depth *(विशेषज्ञता प्राप्त की)*.
*Metal + -urgy (working) = metallurgy; the person is a metallurgist.*
