Answer:

C. A law describes the observation, while the theory explains the how or why.

Step-by-step explanation:

So in general science, an observed phenomenon is the description of the scientific law. However the explanation of the phenomenon is called a scientific theory. Which would make this answer: c. A law describes the observation, while the theory explains the how or why.

Hope this helps!
