Hi Malcolma19, I think I can answer this.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

First of all, a cannot be correct, because a law is something that is a fact, and that fact is something that can prove theories to be true or false.

Okay @quickstudent

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Second of all, C can't be true, because maybe your theory may be true. You can't say that something is not true without proof.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True @quickstudent

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Well, let me see, it has got to be D. Without further proof, theories never become laws. B is less likely, because just because time goes by does not make a theory true. So, I think it is D. I hope that helps!
