Answer 1

it's true. answer is B.

a hypothesis is a stage before formation of theory. so when we put forward a hypothesis to prove something (in scientific observation) it can be proven true with the experiments conducted.

but of course it's can be proven wrong too, after the experiments conducted. then it is disregard.

a proven hypothesis (a true hypothesis)is the reason for theories.

Answer 2

The following statement is true.

A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it. Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous observations that cannot satisfactorily be explained with the available scientific theories.

• A different meaning of the term hypothesis is used in formal logic, to denote the antecedent of a proposition; thus in the proposition "If P, then Q", P denotes the hypothesis (or antecedent); Q can be called a consequent. P is the assumption in a (possibly counterfactual) What If question.

• The adjective hypothetical, meaning "having the nature of a hypothesis", or "being assumed to exist as an immediate consequence of a hypothesis", can refer to any of these meanings of the term "hypothesis".
