Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Science is defined as the study or knowledge of natural world that arises due to experimentation and observation of different materials or things.
Social concerns like needs, values and attitudes of the society affect the development of scientific technology leading to the influence on science.
Whereas political concerns do not affect the science. Also, economic conditions affect science as lots of funds are required to develop a medicine, a missile, or any kind of research needs money.
External local factors also affect how science is used to solve a problem.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement how science is used to solve a problem it is affected by social concerns, is true.
