Pure science is:

B) The conceptual truth proven by science.
C) An experimental, systematic approach to a scientific area of interest.

Accepted Answer

Pure science refers to an experimental, systematic approach to scientific inquiry that aims to discover new knowledge and understand fundamental principles without necessarily seeking practical applications or outcomes. Option C accurately describes this approach. Option A describes applied science, option B refers to scientific truth as a concept rather than a method, and option D describes theoretical modeling which may be a component of pure science but on its own is not sufficient to define it.
