  2. B.science is social in nature.✓ Correct
  3. C.scientists are totally objective in their work.
  4. D.the scientific method is the only guide for conducting research.

Explanation

Modern understanding of the nature of science emphasises that science is a social enterprise — it is influenced by social, cultural, and historical contexts, and progresses through community validation, peer review and collaboration. Science is not merely a system of beliefs; scientists, being human, can never be totally objective and bring their perspectives; and there is no single rigid scientific method that guides all research.
