Question

what must occur for a hypothesis to be considered fully proven? choose one option a newspapers must report the event. b public opinion must agree with the results. c other scientists must repeat the experiment and get the same results. d there must be a specific number of controlled experiments.

Explanation:

To prove a hypothesis, scientific validation is key. Newspaper reports (A) and public opinion (B) are not scientific methods. A specific number of experiments (D) doesn't ensure validity. However, when other scientists repeat the experiment and get the same results (C), it confirms the hypothesis through replication, a core scientific practice.

Answer:

C. Other scientists must repeat the experiment and get the same results.
