Answer:

The correct answer will be option-Pseudoscience does not follow the scientific method, and science does.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientific investigation tries to understand the natural phenomenon and is based on the systematic approach through a scientific method whereas pseudoscience is the practice of performing scientific experiments based on personal opinions and predictions.

The pseudoscience experiments are based on the belief system which are not supported by the evidence. Therefore, the pseudoscience results are based on the co-incidences and not on the systematic approach or the scientific method.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
