TESTABLE:
A scientific hypothesis is the initial building block in the scientific method. Many describe it as an "educated guess," based on prior knowledge and observation. While this is true, the definition can be expanded. A hypothesis also includes an explanation of why the guess may be correct, according to National Science Teachers Association.

The answer has to be option B "testable." A hypothesis is a educated guess on what you think is going to happen during a experiment. Also its not going to be option A because a hypothesis doesn't exactly have to be written homeschool students have there instructions on a computer in order to be completed. Its not option C because a hypothesis has the have its test variables. (independent & dependent variables) Its also not option D because some scientists conduct their experiments by themselves.

Hope this helps!
