1 point
a common set of beliefs about nature that are passed on from one generation to the next.
a method of learning about the natural world that is based on evidence and logic.
a collection of facts about nature that never changes.

Explanation:

• Option 1: Science is not just a set of beliefs; it requires evidence, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: Science uses the scientific method, which is based on gathering evidence (through observation, experimentation) and logical reasoning to learn about the natural world. This matches the definition of science.
• Option 3: Scientific knowledge is tentative and can change as new evidence is found, so it's not a collection of unchanging facts.

Answer:

B. A method of learning about the natural world that is based on evidence and logic.
