Explanation:

The first passage discusses scientific discovery and how it helps people through science and medicine. The term "discovery" is related to scientific progress which improves lives (as stated in the passage: "Remarkable advances in science and medicine helped to lift people out of wretched poverty...enrich their lives, empower them with knowledge"). The other options are not supported: "Science is a complex force" is not elaborated in the first passage, and "Knowledge reinforces poverty" is contrary to what the passage says (passage says knowledge from science helps lift out of poverty).

Answer:

Science improves people’s lives.
