Answer 1

c

Answer 2

they do?

Answer 3

what about b?

Answer 4

I'd say d

Answer 5

i dont think they were both tested, where they? If they were tested they would know if its correct or not

Answer 6

well both already have enough scientific studies that once were a hypothesis and still am. now they have scientific work on the subjects.

Answer 7

so what is it then?

Answer 8

im confused...

Answer 9

scientific support explains that the theory might be right.

Answer 10

so d?

Answer 11

Not sure... to me it seems like since there is data supporting these theories, therefore, they were tested... Maybe ikki4hire is right, c. Maybe c and d?

Answer 12

i think c is better because they do have background info. so C?

Answer 13

okk so what is this suppose to show?

Answer 14

That there is a hypothesis first and then you need supporting data to accept or reject it. Then D is correct.

Answer 15

That is true, i see that. So D it is?

Answer 16

can u help me on my question before this one?

Answer 17

I'd say this question is ultimately flawed. Both being scientific theories, they at one point were hypotheses that had to be tested. This makes D true. Also, in order to actually become scientific theories, there has to be VERY strong scientific evidence backing it, so C is true.

Scientific theories, by definition, have to have very strong evidence supporting them, so if I had to choose, I would choose C. However, D is also a correct answer.
