#a.#

Explanation:

On Wikipedia and in several dictionaries, carcinology is described as "a branch of zoology that consists of the study of crustaceans, a group of arthropods that includes lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, krill, barnacles and crabs"

The study of cancer is called oncology. It is also the study of preventing and diagnosis of cancer.

Meanwhile, I don't think there is a single branch of study that just involves centipedes. However, I found this subject called invertebrate zoology, so there is a high chance of studying centipedes there.

So, I would say that option #a.# is correct.
