  • The correct statement that highlights how science differs from other forms of human endeavor is: D. The goal of science is to explain natural phenomena.
  • Science is distinct from other human endeavors in its primary goal: to understand, explain, and explore the natural world and its phenomena through systematic observation, experimentation, and evidence-based reasoning. It focuses on uncovering knowledge about the physical universe, natural processes, and the laws governing them. Other human endeavors may have different goals, such as artistic expression, social interaction, technological innovation, historical understanding, etc., which may not necessarily center on explaining natural phenomena through empirical investigation.
