The study of astrological signs.
B
The study of Earth.
C
It’s space science.
D
The study of all physical things beyond Earth.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Astronomy is the study of everything in the universe beyond Earth’s atmosphere. That includes objects we can see with our naked eyes, like the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars . It also includes objects we can only see with telescopes or other instruments, like faraway galaxies and tiny particles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Use of terms “astronomy” and “astrophysics" However, since most modern astronomical research deals with subjects related to physics, modern astronomy could actually be called astrophysics. Some fields, such as astrometry, are purely astronomy rather than also astrophysics.

Detailed explanation-3: -Astrophysics is a branch of space science that applies the laws of physics and chemistry to seek to understand the universe and our place in it. The field explores topics such as the birth, life and death of stars, planets, galaxies, nebulae and other objects in the universe.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the past century or so, astronomy has been broadly split into two camps-observational astronomy (using telescopes and cameras to collect data about the night sky) and theoretical astronomy (using that data to analyze, model and theorize about how objects and phenomena work).

Detailed explanation-5: -ASTROPHYSICS: Applying the laws of physics in space. ASTROMETRY: Mapping celestial bodies. ASTROGEOLOGY: Examining rocks, terrain, and material in space. ASTROBIOLOGY: Searching for life outside Earth. 12-May-2022
