Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Science relies on logic, reason, and evidence, not faith. Eliminate A.
• Option B: While society can influence science, it's not a defining difference from art/philosophy/religion. Eliminate B.
• Option C: Science is objective, with theories based on evidence, not opinions. Eliminate C.
• Option D: Science is objective as it is based on empirical evidence (observations, experiments), unlike art/philosophy/religion which can be more subjective. This matches the nature of science.

Answer:

D. Science is more objective, since it is predominantly based on evidence.
