A prosthodontist is a dental specialist. The term "prostho - " relates to replacement (like prosthetics), and "-dontist" is related to teeth (from "odont - " which means teeth in Greek roots). The first option is about body parts in general (not specific to teeth). The third option is about the study of teeth and tissues (that's more of a general dental or periodontal study). The fourth option is about human behavior (psychology - related). The second option correctly identifies a prosthodontist as an expert in replacing missing teeth.
