This statement best describes the role of science in nineteenth-century European life.

Explanation:

The history of Europe demonstrates the beginning of the science during the 19th century, as many contributions started developing in all the fields. The appearance of science as a real occupation during that period was related to several reasons and most importantly the growth of the technology and rationalism. Those two helped to support knowledge and scientific discovery regardless of religious beliefs.  

For example, Europe witnessed the birth of arts and cultures, the invention of the telephone, as well as a huge interest in physics and electricity such as the discovery of the dynamo and electromagnetic field. All these great inventions and many more, made the 19th century, with no doubt, the most interesting and motivational period in the European history, and the beginning of important discoveries that we still praise today.
