B.
A theory is not a chiselled in stone. It can be modified when new data surfaces. It can even be replaced by another theory.

A and B
A) the suggested answer to a question...you might have noticed that all the theories you have come across are always proposed by scientists to explain a previously unexplainable phenomena, which would prove A true....
B) that's why its called a thoery, because it's not set in stone and is open to changes, if it were unchangable then it would be known as fact.
C) it cant be c because a thoery can be scrapped in favour of a new one, but then may be brought up again in light of new evidence.
D) The results of a scientfiic process dont always lead to a thoery, most of the time the results are inconclusive or ambigious, at times they may lead to a definite answer which would be known as a fact, a theory CAN be the end of a scientific process, but most of the time it isnt. A thoery can also be the begning of a sceintific process if it's being tested.

B and B only. All theories are tentative with respect to new evidence.
A is false and more aptly describes an hypothesis.
C is false because a theory must produce repeatable results.
D is false because theories are inherently an iterative process and are never an end.

it really is b) because technology is meant to be open minded. A idea can not be reproduced; an attempt can. A idea should be shown via a reproducible attempt, it truly is probable what they meant. A idea isn't the proper of the clinical procedure by using the indisputable fact that is subject to being disproven. answer a) isn't sparkling. If a hypothesis is a question and a idea is an answer, then that ought to probably be proper, too. regardless of the indisputable fact that the author of the question grow to be probable after b).
