B
The study of celestial bodies and the universe

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the scope of biology as a scientific discipline. Biology is the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and interactions with their environment.
Eliminate options that do not align with the study of living organisms. For example, the study of Earth's physical structure and processes pertains to geology, not biology.
Recognize that the study of celestial bodies and the universe is the domain of astronomy, which is unrelated to the biological sciences.
Identify that the study of chemical reactions and compounds is primarily the focus of chemistry, though it may overlap with biology in areas like biochemistry.
Conclude that the correct description of biology is 'The study of living organisms and their interactions with the environment,' as it encompasses the core focus of the discipline.
