Answer 1

D

Explanation:

A is rather a strange choice. The tools are used as extensions of our senses. That's all that technology has done. We still need to observe things for ourselves if we are to learn. I actually really do not know what this statement means. My answer reflects what I think is true. Our need to observe and think is not hindered.

B is never going to be true. We still have to test things out, even with the best tools that we have.

C: The exact opposite is true. Our knowledge of the universe has expanded beyond our belief with the better tools of technology that we have.

D: This is the opposite of C and is the answer.
