Answer:

A. Is accepted as true until proven false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis is an explanation of an observable phenomenon. Hypothesis is falsifiable and testable. A hypothesis is tested independently by different scientists. When different experiments lead to the same conclusion a hypothesis reaches in the scientific community. However, if new data emerges that proves the hypothesis as incorrect then the hypothesis is rejected.
