The correct answer is D. It is open to new evidence
Explanation:
The term "science" refers to a system of knowledge and methodology that tries to explain phenomena of the world based on evidence rather than opinions and by using the scientific method (observation, formulation of hypothesis, testing). Because of this, science is guided by specific principles including formulating theories and explanations based on evidence, this implies theories are based on testable evidence and as new evidence emerges theories change.
This can be seen in many cases including theories about evolution, genes and the system for classifying organisms as this system proposed by Linnaeus included only animals and plants but with new evidence, other kingdoms and levels were added. Therefore, the changes in the Linnaeus system of Classification shows that science is open to new evidence and adapts to it.
