Answer:

b. Exploring alternation explanation

Explanation:

Experiments are carried out in controlled conditions to confirm a known truth, examine the validity of a hypothesis, or evaluate the efficacy of something that has never been tried before.

SO, when an experiment result seems only partly to support a hypothesis, the best thing to do is to consider exploring alternative explanations through modification of the hypothesis.

A scientific should not be formulated because it is when we have a valid theory that we can formulate a scientific law.

Also, we cannot manipulate the experiment's data because it is not part of the code and conduct of carrying out research.
