Question

All of the following are true about a hypothesis except A. It is more specific than a prediction B. It can never be proven C. It is based on observations D. It is testable

Answer 1

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a proposed idea or statement which is formed after studying the earlier work related to the same issue. The hypothesis is therefore known as the educated guess and not just a prediction.

The hypothesis is more specific than a prediction as it explains the question to a limited extent. A good hypothesis is proposed in such a way that it should be testable through experiments and could explain the scientific question.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
