The correct answer is option B, Scientific knowledge can change when new evidence or interpretations arise.

But with the advancement in technology some new theories may come forward.  for example – Earlier it was found that atom in the smallest unit of matter , but with the advancement in high scale microscope it was found that even atom is made of smaller particles like electron, proton etc. Thus the scientific theories/laws  get affected by new researches.
