Question

1. the study of technology seeks to solve problems and extend human capabilities that involve the use of processes to develop ______. a. prototypes b. theories c. science d. systems

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a (prototypes): Technology often develops prototypes (initial models) to test solutions.
• Option b (theories): Theories are more related to scientific explanation, not technology’s primary output.
• Option c (science): Technology applies science, but does not develop “science” as a direct output.
• Option d (systems): While systems can be developed, “prototypes” are a more direct, common output of technological problem - solving (e.g., building a prototype of a new device).

Answer:

a. prototypes
