Question

A theory is defined as:

Select one:
a. a set of concepts and statements that present a view of a phenomenon.
b. terms that abstractly describe and name an object, idea, experience, or phenomenon.
c. viewpoints on what reality is, how knowledge is developed, and which ethical values and/or principles should guide our practice.
d. the appearance, objects, and aspects of reality as one experiences them.

Answer 1

a. a set of concepts and statements that present a view of a phenomenon.

Step-by-step explanation:

A theory is defined as a set of concepts and statements that present a view of a phenomenon. Option b. refers to concepts, that are terms that abstractly describe and name an object, idea, experience, or phenomenon. These concepts provide a separate entity to each object of the theory. Different viewpoints on what reality is don't make a theory.
