How did the scientific revolution contribute to the Enlightenment in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries?

AWealthy monarchs who funded private learning academies and supported scientists in their studies became more powerful and popular.
BDiscoveries that led scientists to challenge church traditions inspired philosophers to question the traditional authority of monarchs as well.
CAdvancements in technology led to a higher standard of living, which allowed people more leisure time to discuss philosophy and politics.
DThe Catholic Church focused on disputing new scientific theories, which allowed monarchs more freedom to act as they pleased.

Answer: C. Advancements in technology led to a higher standard of living, which allowed people more leisure time to discuss philosophy and politics.

Explanation: The Scientific Revolution as well as the Enlightenment were based on natural laws and the study of nature, which was contrary to the Church teachings. This certainly contributed to the denial of the authority of the monarch, because according to natural law, everyone has the right to freedom and equal rights in general, which is contrary to dogma. The Church, although it fiercely contested the achievements of science, could not resist the change that science has brought. The results of the Scientific Revolution changed everyday life by introducing their technological innovations. It has all created the conditions for a lighter life and the possibility of a higher standard of living. This has again led people to talk about politics and philosophy in more casual terms, in ways that the ideas of science and the Enlightenment are deepening and are being applied seriously.
