What is a hypothesis in science?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A testable possible explanation

The direct answer is C: a hypothesis is a testable possible explanation. In science, a question comes first, such as asking why a plant grows differently in two conditions. A scientist then proposes a possible answer that can be checked by observation or experiment. Step by step: identify the question; suggest a reasonable explanation; make a prediction; collect evidence under suitable conditions; compare the evidence with the prediction; and revise or reject the hypothesis if needed. Option C is correct because it includes both possibility and testability. A is wrong because a hypothesis is not final truth; evidence may support or reject it. B is wrong because a scientific hypothesis must respond to a question or problem, not be a story without one. D is wrong because an instrument is a tool used for measurement, not an explanation. Memory cue: hypothesis means “testable idea,” not “proved fact.”
