Answer:
C. Laws are explanations; theories are hypotheses.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the scientific process first scientists make an observation and hypothesize how the observation changes when other variables in the experiment are changed. When this hypothesis becomes more accepted in the scientific community it becomes a theory. When the theory is proven without any doubt it becomes a law.
The laws of motion discovered by Newton are laws because they have been proven without a doubt.
Einstein's theory of special relativity is a theory because in certain cases the equations show an impossible situation.
