Answer:

D. A guess based on some knowledge.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis is a tentative explanation that can be tested with further investigation. It is not the same thing as theories because these are well-supported explanations.

A hypothesis can turn into a theory if it is proved.

I hope this answer helps you.
