单选题 Beliefs about the relationship between humanity and the natural environment can be directly correlated with conceptions held regarding the role science and technology play in mediating that relationship. The interdependence of these beliefs with perceptions of the environmental impacts of science and technology are central in the notions held with regard to the future role of science and technology.
A. regarding
B. play in mediating
C. are central in
D. with regard to

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] C项所在句是说这种相互依存对这些看法非常重要，“be central to”意为“对……是重要的”，如：Maintaining this balancing act will prove to be central to a winning strategy．(保持这一种均衡的活动是取胜战略的中心环节。)因此C项应改为“are central to”。
