How do the ongoing processes of scientific investigation and technological design interact with each other?

Answer
A
Scientific investigation discovers new information that can be used in technological design, and technological design provides new products that can further scientific investigation.
B
Technological design discovers new information that can be used in scientific investigation, and scientific investigation provides new products that can further technological design.
C
Scientific investigation determines new problems that should be examined in technological design, and technological design provides research for scientific investigation.
D
Technological design determines new problems that should be examined by scientific investigation, and scientific investigation provides research for technological design.

Explanation

Scientific investigation builds knowledge about the natural world, and designers can use that knowledge to create new technologies. Those technologies—such as improved instruments or sensors—can then help scientists make new observations and carry out further investigations. This two-way relationship is described by choice A.
