Question

question 8 of 10
which of these best describes when our current body of scientific knowledge was developed?
a. only during ancient times
b. mostly in the 20th century
c. just over the last 300 years
d. all throughout history

Explanation:

Scientific knowledge has been accumulated over centuries. Ancient civilizations made early contributions, but it has continued to grow through the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Scientific Revolution (starting around the 16th - 17th centuries), and up to modern times. It's not limited to ancient times (A is wrong as there's continuous progress after), not mostly 20th century (B ignores prior work), not just last 300 years (C ignores ancient and medieval contributions).

Answer:

D. All throughout history
