Which of the following statements about scientific theories is most accurate?
AA theory is a guess that has not yet been tested.
BA theory is a well-tested framework supported by extensive evidence.
CA theory becomes a law once it is proven true.
DTheories are permanent and cannot be revised.
Explanation
📌 In science, a theory is a broad framework that has been repeatedly tested and consistently supported by evidence. It is NOT a guess (that would be a hypothesis, A) — this is the everyday-vs-scientific meaning trap. Theories do not "become laws" (C) — laws describe patterns, theories explain them; they are different kinds of statements. And theories CAN be revised if new evidence demands it (D reverses this).
