Answer:

Option C, When it is consistent with most or all available data

Step-by-step explanation:

A general scientific theory is the one which is widely accepted based on the available findings/facts and figures. Or one can also say that the current general scientific theory is the most appropriate explanation of any fact. General scientific theories have been tried and tested at all level and have always succeded in establishing their worthiness.

For example – Newtons law of motion, theory of relativity etc.
