Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The Jansenists believed in the process of scientific discovery and debate, which would imply support for scientific investigation. They did not advocate for the restriction of scientific investigation or the enforcement of ecclesiastical oversight of scientific publications. There is no evidence to suggest that they refused funding for scientific research or believed that all scientific investigation must be in line with Church teaching.
