  • B.Applied Research
  • C.Technology Testing
  • D.Technology Development

Answer: A

The knowledge base usually derives from basic research.

Basic (fundamental) research seeks to understand principles and phenomena without an immediate practical aim. The understanding it produces is the knowledge on which a technology is built. Applied research then uses that knowledge to solve a practical problem, and technology development and testing turn it into a usable product or practice.

So applied research, development and testing come later in the chain. They depend on the knowledge base rather than being its source.
