The correct answer is microbiology.

Microbiology is the branch of science that study microorganism. It contains a few sub-disciplines including virology (study viruses), parasitology (study parasites), mycology (study fungi) and bacteriology (study bacteria). Studied microorganism might be unicellular (one cell), multicellular (cell colony), or acellular (without cells).
