C. Science is a process of observation and experimentation

The reason why it would be C is because it makes the most sense. Here are the reasons why it wouldn't be the others

A: while science does explain why some things happen, it does not have the absolute truth. There are times where science is wrong.

B: Not all questions can be answered by science. For example, how would you solve the question "do you like apples or oranges better" with science?

C: correct, because science uses the scientific method with observation then experimentation

D: Science is not unchanging, there are times where the first answers are wrong and they must be changed, or new findings are added

hope this helps you :)
