C. a universal language of study

Explanation:

This is a universal language because it consists of a clear method of study, composed by observation, hypotheses, and empirical proof, that can be applied and the results can be proved by anyone following the same steps. Furthermore, modern science was developed by the study of universal mathematical laws, which also gave consistency and support for scientific studies in many fields, giving place to an accurate and precise way of studying nature.
