In the scientific world, we have different names to describe each step of the scientific method, two definitions which are very close to one another are Scientific Law and Scientific Theory.

Usually Scientific laws are described using mathematical equations and formulas to describe what will happen in a given situation, for example the Gravity Law

Scientific theory will describe how a phenomenon happens, and it is usually done through observations and testing, like the Evolution theory

Therefore the best answer will be letter B
