The true correct response is:
By providing new tools to gather more precise data and evidence.
Why: Technology often enhances our ability to collect, analyze, and interpret data more accurately and precisely. With the development of new tools and methodologies, scientists can test theories with greater rigor, gather more comprehensive evidence, and refine theories based on new insights. This can lead to the modification, support, or even complete overhaul of existing theories, depending on the findings. The other options, while potentially relevant in a broader context, do not specifically address how technology can fundamentally change a theory through empirical evidence and improved research techniques.
