Question

Which of the following best describes the difference between a scientific hypothesis and a scientific theory?

Once a scientific hypothesis has been proven, it becomes known as a theory.

A scientific hypothesis must be testable, while a theory does not have to be tested.

A scientific hypothesis is a testable assumption, while a theory is a well-verified idea used to explain a broad range of phenomena.

Only a scientific hypothesis is subject to scrutiny, while a theory does not change.
