Answer: The correct answer is : Popper claimed that genuine scientific theories are falsifiable.

Explanation: Karl Popper criticizes the theories established by science and opposes logical positivism. He became famous for his theory of the scientific method. In his Logic of Scientific Research he proposed a test criterion that he called falsifiability to determine scientific validity.
