Answer 1

Out of those 4 questions, I believe your answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Theory: a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.

Hypothesis: a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

A hypothesis can be tested through scientific methods so the answer is not A

A hypothesis is not a description of events, rather it is an explanation made from small evidence so the answer is not B

Since a hypothesis is set based on a limited amount of evidence, and is yet to be tested, so the answer is not D

Answer 2

A hypothesis is a possible explanation of a single event based on observation, while a theory is a unifying explanation based on many experiments and observations.
