Thank you for your precious feedback.

I misplaced D for B. You are right. The first answer is B.

Thank you.

Could you please elaborate on why (C) teological is not a valid answer for the first blank?

Because the clue to the first blank is at the end of the phrase: supernatural. It is not related to teological.

I know your first thought is science versus religion. But here is not the case.

Hope this helps.

I believe it is "theological" not "teological".
