Science is Based on ___________

Question

Science is based on ___________.  
A) faith
B) authority
C) evidence
D) force
E) opinion

Accepted Answer

Science is based on evidence, which is gathered through observation, experimentation, and data analysis. It relies on empirical evidence rather than opinion or faith, and conclusions are based on the best available evidence at the time. Authority may be consulted in terms of expertise, but it is not the sole basis for scientific conclusions. Force has no place in scientific inquiry.
