How has science led to advancements that benefit society?

a. Science increases the understanding of natural processes, which leads to technological advances.

b. Scientific exploration has led to a social imbalance.

c. Scientific understanding leads to technological advances, which contribute to environmental degradation.

d. All of the above

I don't know how scientific exploration would lead to a social imbalance - it would not do so in a direct regular way, so this answer is false (and d together with it)

Now, both a) and c) are true to some extent, but the question asks about advancements that benefit society and c) talks of a negative influence.

So the correct answer is a) !

A is the correct answer
