The answer is (B) Applied. Applied sciences have a goal of using science for practical applications, like technology, curing diseases, and inventions. Basic sciences aim to expand knowledge for improved understanding or to explain phenomena. Two examples of basic sciences are using a microscope to observe a specimen and studying the human eye to learn how it works.
