What statement best describes technological discoveries made during the Ming Dynasty?

During the Ming Dynasty, Chinese inventors and craftspeople improved technologies that already existed rather than producing many entirely new scientific breakthroughs. For example, they refined printing, porcelain production, and other established techniques. This makes “Advancements that were made were mainly improvements on existing technologies” the best description; the period was not generally called a Golden Age of science.
