Whereas pure science is mainly concerned with the discovery of new truths and makes few, if any, attempts to discern the best options between their potential uses, applied science involves the application of existing truths to concrete problems.

best options between their potential uses
best options between its potential uses
best of the options among their potential uses
best options among its potential uses

best options between their potential uses - Eliminated
best options between its potential uses - Eliminated
best of the options among their potential uses - Eliminated
best options among its potential uses - Eliminated
best options among their potential uses - Correct


'their' refers to 'truths' so (B) n (D) eliminated

My take is (E)

It is between D and E.In E the "their"refers to pure science which is singular.

IMO:D
