limnology
B
palynology
C
systematic
D
dendrochronology
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrochronology (or tree-ring dating) is the scientific method of dating tree rings (also called growth rings) to the exact year they were formed. As well as dating them, this can give data for dendroclimatology, the study of climate and atmospheric conditions during different periods in history from wood.

Detailed explanation-2: -Yellowstone National Park. Using the principle of crossdating and pattern-matching morphological and statistical techniques, dendrochronologist John King of Lone Pine Research determined this axe-cut stump was cut late in the growing season of 1877.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tree-ring dating is also called dendrochronology. Dendrochronology, or tree-ring dating, is the science that assigns accurate calendar dates to the yearly growth rings produced by trees (Nash 2000). Archeologists have used this accurate and sophisticated dating method for nearly a century.

Detailed explanation-4: -The study of the growth of tree rings is known as dendrochronology. The study of the relationship between climate and tree growth in an effort to reconstruct past climates is known as dendroclimatology.
