Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Science is an endeavor to discover how nature works, as it involves systematic observation, testing, and analysis to develop and refine our understanding of the natural world. Option A is incorrect because science studies the natural world as it exists now, rather than focusing on its history. Option B correctly describes one of the goals of science, but it is not the primary one. Option C is incorrect because science aims to develop a coherent and consistent body of knowledge, rather than being a random collection of facts. Option D is also incorrect because scientific knowledge is based on large amounts of evidence gathered through rigorous testing and experimentation.
