It is either a or b. Hope this helps...

Answer 2

The correct answer is option b. Hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis is an idea or a guess that is formulated on the observation of a problem or natural phenomenon which is based on prior knowledge or research.

The hypothesis is not a random guess and it is also not a well-sustained explanation, it lies in between. The hypothesis is generally formed to prove or test if it is true or not.

Thus, the correct answer is option - b. Hypothesis.
