Since applied scientific research is required for technological advancement, many have rightly urged an increased emphasis in universities on applied research. But we must not give too little attention to basic research, even though it may have no foreseeable application, for tomorrow's applied research will depend on the basic research of today.
If the statements above are true, which of the following can be most reliably inferred?
(A) If future technological advancement is desired, basic research should receive greater emphasis than applied research.
(B) If basic research is valued in universities, applied research should be given less emphasis than it currently has.
(C) If future technological advancement is desired, research should be limited to that with some foreseeable application.
(D) If too little attention is given to basic research today, future technological advancement will be jeopardized.
(E) If technological advancement is given insufficient emphasis, basic research will also receive too little attention.

From the argument,
Basic research --[helps] --> Applied Research --[required for] --> Technical Advancement.
Now, let's look at the MUST BE TRUE case.
(A) If future technological advancement is desired, basic research should receive greater emphasis than applied research.
No such comparison can be inferred.
(B) If basic research is valued in universities, applied research should be given less emphasis than it currently has.
No such comparison can be inferred.
(C) If future technological advancement is desired, research should be limited to that with some foreseeable application.
The argument does not say to stick just with basic research.
(D) If too little attention is given to basic research today, future technological advancement will be jeopardized.
Correct,If basic research is ignored,future technological advancement will be negatively impacted.
(E) If technological advancement is given insufficient emphasis, basic research will also receive too little attention.
Research is required for technological advancement (reverse may not true). Thus. this choice can't be inferred.
IMO D
