A) A law explains behavior and a theory states a measurable relationship. B) A theory is a tentative proposal and a law is a tested proposal. C) A law is a tentative proposal and a theory is a tested proposal. D) A theory explains behavior and a law states a measurable relationship E) none of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D.

Explanation:

The scientific method can lead to the formation of scientific laws and scientific theory.  A scientific law is a statement based on the observations which are proved by the repeated experiments.

The scientific laws provide facts about the natural phenomenon but do not provide a detailed explanation of the process whereas the scientific theory is the well-substantiated idea which explains any natural phenomenon into depth and elaborate form.

The difference between the law and the theory is that law shows the measurable relationship of the phenomenon whereas the theory explains the behavior of the phenomenon.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
