Answer:

B. A well-tested explanation for a widely accepted hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

This is true about a scientific theory going by the fact of it being a well tested explanation. For example, in one of the Newtons law of motion which he stated to be "To every action, there is equal and opposite reaction", the hypothesis has been known till he was able to offer a well tested explanations with calculations showing that, it was actually true.
