Therefore, "study of" is the most logical explanation for the given answer.

Explanation

The word "naked" is the correct answer because it is the only word in the given list that is not related to the other words.

The word "within" doesn't provide much context, but it could be interpreted as referring to the location of the leaf within a plant.

Submit
53. Phage

Explanation

Phages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria. They do not produce poison or cause disease themselves. Instead, they "eat" or consume bacteria by injecting their genetic material into the bacterial cell and using the host's machinery to replicate and produce more phages. This eventually leads to the lysis or destruction of the bacterial cell, releasing new phages to infect other bacteria.
