Explanation / Answer

aCCORING TO kUHN,

Paradigms can determine normal science without the intervention of discoverable rules or shared assumptions.

New theory is taught in tandem with its application to a concrete range of phenomena.


Scientists never learn concepts, laws, and theories in the abstract and by themselves.

They generally learn these with and through their applications.


SO HERE THE correct answer is option B, science gets closer to the actual truth
