b. normal science
c. anomaly

e. paradigm shift

Answer 1

D). Crisis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas Kuhn in his famous work 'The Structure of Scientific revolutions', described 'crisis' as the situation in which the belief or confidence is dislocated while solving the 'anomalies' that leads to accumulation of anomalies. These accumulated anomalies end up prompting a revolution while attempting to resolve these incongruities and this revolution ends up in replacing the subsisting paradigm with a new one. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
