The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
Jia observes that adding a solution of sodium hydroxide to a clear liquid turns the liquid pink. She makes a hypothesis about why the liquid changed color.
Which characteristic is least important for her hypothesis to have?
A)ability to be tested
B)based on the opinion of her classmates
C)ability to be proven incorrect
D)based on her current knowledge
Answer:
B)based on the opinion of her classmates
Step-by-step explanation:
A hypothesis is a supposition or tentative explanation put forward based on minimal evidence. It sometimes sets the pace for further investigation.
Hypothesis is always based on empirical observation and not on popular opinion, hence the opinion of Jia's classmates is least important in Jia's formulation of a hypothesis.
