Which statement is correct? Theories are accepted as true when a single experiment yields similar results to another one. When a scientist finds a new way to test a hypothesis, experimental methods do not change. Theories may be revised over time as information is discovered or technology is developed. When a scientist finds a new way to test a hypothesis, the original theory is made into a law.

Answer:

Theories may be revised over time as information is discovered or technology is developed.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientific theory is a set of knowledge related to a particular problem of interest, be it academic or practical. The structure of a theory is formed by the following main elements: problem, evidence, postulates, axioms, questions, hypotheses, predictions, theses, rules and laws. Theory seeks to explain a particular phenomenon or problem of society, so theories can be revised and change as society changes and new technologies and new information are discovered.
