Otology is the study of the ear, rhinology is the study of the nose, and laryngology is the study of the voice box (larynx). The term otolaryngology combines all three and refers to the medical specialty that is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the ear, nose, and throat. Therefore, otolaryngology is also known as otorynolaryngology or otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. Option B best describes the study of these three organs, as it includes the terms for ear (oto), nose (rhino), and larynx (laryngo). The other options are either missing a component or are not the correct combination of these three organs.
