Correct Answer: defined the scientific study of


Solution : The first option is correct.

The error is in the second part of the sentence. The word defined should not be followed by the scientific study of . Instead, it should be followed by as , making the correct phrase defined as .

So, as the corrected sentence reads, psychology has been defined as the scientific study of human psyche and behaviour.
