Prices of prescription drugs have increased dramatically over time.
C

D
Some people enjoy watching stars and planets in the night sky.

Explanation

Society can influence science through laws and ethical rules that limit what research or technology may be used. Banning the production of a living copy of a person is an example of society placing a legal limit on scientific work. The other choices describe drug prices, a personal activity, or an interest in astronomy rather than society affecting science.
