Correct Answer:

Existence of theoretical knowledge

Existence of theoretical knowledge is a basic feature of art.

Science is a systematised body of knowledge that explains certain general truths or the operation of general laws. The basic features of science are as follows:

(i) Systematised body of knowledge: Science is a systematic body of knowledge. Its principles are based on a cause and effect relationship. For example, the phenomenon of an apple falling from a tree towards the ground is explained by the law of gravity.

(ii) Principles based on experimentation: Scientific principles are first developed through observation and then tested through repeated experimentation under controlled conditions.

(iii) Universal validity: Scientific principles have universal validity and application.
