Explanation:

• A materials scientist works on improving or changing materials (so "develops ways to change or improve materials" applies).
• They also develop new materials (so "develops new materials" applies).
• Studying the relationship between a material's structure and its properties is a key part of their work (so "looks for connections between the structure of a material and its properties" applies).
• The option "researches ways in which natural materials can be created from synthetic materials" is incorrect as materials scientists typically don't focus on creating natural materials from synthetic ones (usually it's the other way around or developing new synthetic materials).

Answer:

A. develops ways to change or improve materials
C. develops new materials
D. looks for connections between the structure of a material and its properties
