Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The end result of repeated experiments supporting a hypothesis is for the hypothesis to become a theory.

In science, a hypothesis is a general statement that needs to be validated or invalidated by experiments. Once a hypothesis is found to be valid by several independent but similar experiments, such a hypothesis becomes a theory.

Formulation and testing of hypotheses (via experiments) represent two of the key steps in the scientific method.

The correct option is A.
