Answer: The answer is Phonology

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of Psycholinguistics is the study of the relationships between linguistic behavior and psychological processes

So that's not right

The definition of Morphophonemics is a study of the phonemic differences between allomorphs of the same morpheme.

So that's not right either

The definition of Phonetics is the study and classification of speech sounds

And this matches what we are looking for, to we don't have to check phonology
