Major shifts, that is shifts in the paradigms, are not very frequent - they would make scientific research unstable, as any result of a smaller study could be made invalid by a paradigm shift,

Therefore the best answer is
<span>Major
shifts in scientific views very rarely occur, but minor modifications
of prior knowledge are continually made based on new research.</span>
The answer is B =Abraham Lincoln
