Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientific hypothesis is a statement based on the research work of the earlier work done. The hypothesis is also known as the educated guess and explains the phenomenon to a limited extent which could be tested through experiments.

The hypothesis when proved many times by the repeated experiments by many scientists and supported by a large number of hypothesis and data from the works of the other scientist, the hypothesis gets established and explain the event in-depth and thus becomes a hypothesis.

Thus, Option-B which stated that hypothesis which undergoes extensive testing becomes hypothesis is the correct answer.
