Explanation
Sometimes a seeming theme trap (evolving) is not a trap — this sentence is literally about evolution, and also uses evolving as a metaphor. Fallacious and counterfactual is an incorrect pair that reflects misunderstanding the sentence, which certainly doesn’t say that all science is wrong, just that it is its nature to constantly revise in the face of new information.
Hence options evolving, advancing are correct!
