According to evolutionary theory, species that exist today are the result of a

slow, continuous change of living things over time. Why is this considered to
be a theory and not a law?
O A. Evolutionary theory is a description based on observations. A law
is based on mathematical calculations.
B. Evolutionary theory may change when new evidence is found that
does not support the theory. A law has been proved with scientific
evidence.
C. Evolutionary theory is an educated guess. A law is supported by
extensive research,
D. Evolutionary theory is an explanation of how living things have
changed over time. A law describes natural events but does not
attempt to explain them.
