Discussion
Which of the following statements best defines the nature and scope of Science and Technology?
Answer: B
The best definition is that science involves systematic inquiry to understand natural phenomena, while technology applies this knowledge for practical benefits.
Science seeks to explain how the natural world works, through observation, experiment and theory. Technology uses that understanding to design tools, processes and systems that solve practical problems. The two feed each other: scientific discoveries make new technologies possible, and new instruments make new science possible.
The other options are too narrow or plainly wrong. Science is not only theoretical, and technology is far wider than manufacturing. The two are closely related and shape everyday life. Technology without any reliance on scientific principles describes trial-and-error craft, not modern technology.
