Question

select the correct answer.
what did buckminster fullers \knowledge doubling curve\ theory reveal?
a. human knowledge had tripled since the industrial revolution.
b. human knowledge had doubled every century until the 1900s.
c. in the future, human knowledge will double every 12 years.
d. nanotechnology knowledge is doubling every 2 years.

Explanation:

Buckminster Fuller's "knowledge doubling curve" theory states that human knowledge doubled approximately every century up to the 1900s, after which the doubling rate accelerated. Option B aligns with this core claim of the theory. Options A (tripled), C (future 12-year doubling), and D (nanotechnology-specific 2-year doubling) do not match the original theory's focus on historical doubling rates up to the 1900s.

Answer:

B. Human knowledge had doubled every century until the 1900s.
