Question

identify which statement describes a scientific law. a water freezes at 100°c b the universe is expanding. c matter cannot be created or destroyed. d more crimes take place during the full moon.

Explanation:

A scientific law is a statement that describes an observed phenomenon in nature that is generally true. Water freezes at 0°C not 100°C, so A is incorrect. The expansion of the universe is a scientific theory based on evidence but not a law in the strict sense. The idea that more crimes occur during a full - moon is a common myth with no scientific basis. The law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, which is a well - established scientific law.

Answer:

C. Matter cannot be created or destroyed.
