Question

question y2 (1 point)
when, if ever, can a scientific theory become a scientific law?
○ a after rigorous testing by many scientists
○ b after a vote by professional scientists
○ c never, under no circumstances
○ d after the theory has proven useful for at least 20 years

Explanation:

Scientific theories explain "why" phenomena occur, while scientific laws describe "what" happens. The two are distinct concepts, and a theory (explanatory) can never become a law (descriptive), regardless of testing, voting, or time.

Answer:

c. never, under no circumstances
