I think that the correct option for the question given is the C. Their independence from government and church control.

The scientific revolution was a series of events that marked the born of the modern society by transforming the views of it about the nature with the development of mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology and chemistry. It took place in Europe after the end of the Renaissance period and last until the late 18th century, influencing the intelectual social movement known as the Enlightenment.

The scientific revolution was a large period that some authors divided in a two-stage process, the first one focused on recovering the knowledge of the ancients greeks and romans and the second was focused on establishing new conecpts about how to see the world. The completion of this is often attributed to Isaac Newton´s 1687 "Principia". In which he fromulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation.

All of this could not be achived without the independece of the universities who supported the scientific investigations and establish several modern sciences. Before that the science was not seen as an autonomous discipline because it was believe that had not utilitarian goals. Without the government and church control they could challenge the widespread common sense about God being the creator of everything and this way open the eyes of lots of people to a more rational way of thinking.

I hope this answer help you. Regards

I've Got It!" we can see that the interpretation of the hieroglyphics on the rosette stone was not something achieved overnight, but it was a long, slow process, the result of much study, research and perseverance, which progressed more and more as time passed. As the years passed, the more elements that facilitated the interpretation of the hieroglyphs were discovered. For this reason, we can say that the correct answer to your question is "Progress continued to be made in the years that followed."
