Answer: A scientific theory concerns nature and is supported by data collected through field observations and experiments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific theories are only established based on verified facts derived well organized research and experiments using data and other supporting evidences. Theories differ from hypothesis or philosophical sayings which lacks factual and reproducible evidences.

Mrs. Underwoods theory could best be deemed as an assertion because her theory lacks an established and reproducible evidence prepared from data or experimental research to back up or align with her theory.
