What earth science field studies fossil organisms and related remains?

  1. Oxidation

  2. Paleontology

  3. Parasite

  4. Payload

The correct answer is: Paleontology

Paleontology is the correct answer because it specifically deals with the study of fossil organisms and their related remains. Oxidation is incorrect because it is a chemical process that involves the loss of electrons, not related to the study of fossils. Parasitology is a branch of biology that deals with the study of parasites, not fossils. Payload is a term used in aerospace engineering and has no relation to earth science or the study of fossils.
