The statement that best describes the study of science during the Hellenistic Age is:

B. Scientists from many cultures shared ideas.

During the Hellenistic period, which followed the classical era of Greece, there was a significant exchange and blending of ideas among scientists, scholars and philosophers from various cultures. The Hellenistic world, which extended from the eastern Mediterranean to Central Asia, facilitated the exchange of knowledge between Greek, Egyptian, Persian, Babylonian and other cultures. This intellectual cross-pollination contributed to advancements in various fields, including mathematics, astronomy, medicine and philosophy, as diverse scholars shared and built upon each other's ideas and discoveries.
