    D) has its most valuable achievements in medical applications

    Explanation:

    Both Kim and Liard agree on the importance of pure research in the field of medicine but do not agree on which of its applications must be prioritized and has had a greater impact.

    According to Liard, pure research has been instrumental in saving new lives but its greatest contribution is providing new ideas in terms of science.

    Kim disagrees and believes that saving lives must be prioritized over everything and as such it is the priority to be considered
