Which statement summarizes the difference between a law and a theory?

A theory is a conclusion that is drawn from observations and experiments, but a law provides an explanation.
A law describes natural phenomena, but a theory explains why those phenomena occur.
A law is absolute, but a theory may be proven wrong.
A theory can be used to make predictions, but a law cannot.

A theory is a conclusion that is drawn from observations and experiments, but a law provides an explanation. this is the answer strictly because within science everything can be proven wrong nothing is set in stone

i think the statement that summarizes the difference between a law and a theory is :
A law is absolute , but a theory may be proven wrong
Theory simply a conclusion that proposed after some research and analyzation, it's not an absolute truth

hope this helps
