Question

A)a lack of sufficient funding to test the claim
B)a lack of interest from the community to test the claim
C)a lack of supporting empirical evidence
D)a lack of acceptance from scientific organizations

Answer 1

C)a lack of supporting empirical evidence

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientific reasoning can be rendered invalid if empirical evidences are lacking. Empirical evidences are usually a product of observations or experiments.

When these are lacking or cannot be gathered, scientific observations or sometimes reasoning can be rendered as invalid because there is no ground to prove them.
