Which of the following statement is correct?

• A. Physics is a basic discipline in the category of natural sciences, which does not induced other disciplines.
• B. In physics, we attempt to explain similar physical phenomena in terms of a few concepts and laws.
• C. The attempts to unify fundamental forces of nature is called unification.
• D. An approach to derive the properties of a smaller system from the properties and interactions of its bigger part is called reductionism.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Statement given in option (c) is correct and rest are incorrect and these can be corrected as,
Physics is a basic discipline in the category of natural sciences, which also includes other disciplines like Chemistry and Biology. The word physics comes from a Greek word meaning nature.
In physics, we attempt to explain diverse physical phenomena in terms of a few concepts and laws.
A related effect is to derive the properties of a bigger, more complex system from the properties and interactions of its constituent simpler parts. This approach is called reductionism.
