Answer 1

Correct answer:

D. Scientists made important discoveries in many different fields during the Scientific Revolution.

Further details:

The Scientific Revolution questioned superstition and traditional beliefs that had not been investigated.  Science-minded individuals across Europe began analyzing and researching to discover the truth in many different areas.  Later, by the 18th century, the Enlightenment movement championed this approach to knowledge, emphasizing the use of reason in all matters, in contrast to following superstition or unquestioningly accepting traditional beliefs.  

The Scientific Revolution showed that there are natural laws in place in the physical world and in the universe at large.  Applying similar principles to matters like government and society, Enlightenment thinkers believed that using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate politically so we can create the most beneficial conditions for society.
