Respuesta :

Answer:

b. social-cultural

Explanation:

In sociology and research, the social-cultural context refers to the social environment in which our actions develop, in other words, it refers to the culture that surround us as well as the institutions that belong to our culture.

In this example, the researcher's findings are criticized in the media and considered unacceptable to members of Congress. We can see that the institutions (media and Congress) of the culture where the study took place  are opposed to it and therefore the program is suspended. Therefore this would be an example of the b. social-cultural context of science.
