Answer:

The correct answer is option d. it is supported by adequate data.

Explanation:

A theory is a well tested and well-substantiated explanation that tells about any natural phenomenon or how something work which is tested and supported over a period of time repeatedly.

The theory should be based on adequate data and experiments repeatedly for a long time by many individual experiments.

Thus, the correct answer is option D- it is supported by adequate data.
