Answer 2

I. Scientific explanations should be based on evidence or data. III. Scientific explanations must have logical and consistent arguments. IV. Scientific explanations should use scientific principles, models, and theories.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a certain phenomena and it is open for further scientific inquiry. There is no compulsion in science to prove that a given hypothesis is true. In science hypothesis are made, experiments are conducted, observations and data are recorded, data are analyzed and conclusion is reached where a hypothesis is either proven either right or wrong.
