- C theory
- D physical laws
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) hypothesis
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A hypothesis is a tentative explanation of observations or phenomena that can be tested through experimentation or further observation. It does not assume the explanation is true until it is verified by evidence. Answer: hypothesis
