Option (d)

Explanation of Solution

Empirical science is based on information obtained from observation through experimental work. It is coined from the Greek word empeiria. Empirical science depends on the information accurately obtained from the research that corresponds to the reality.

The data obtained from the analysis is the primary source of Empirical evidence. Empirical evidence is similar to the outcome of an experimental result.

Conclusion:

Since, empirical science is based on information obtained from observation through experimental work. Therefore, option (b) observed data is correct.

Empirical science depends on the information accurately obtained from the research that corresponds to the reality. Thus, option (a), (b), and (c) is incorrect.
