Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that scientific knowledge is built upon observations, experiments, and evidence collected over time.
Recognize that as new evidence emerges, scientific theories and explanations can be revised or replaced to better reflect reality.
Eliminate options that suggest scientific knowledge is based on majority opinion or personal beliefs, as science relies on empirical evidence rather than opinions or beliefs.
Also eliminate the option stating scientific knowledge is unchanging and absolute, because science is inherently open to revision when new data contradicts previous understanding.
Conclude that the best description of scientific knowledge is that it is subject to change based on new evidence.
