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 based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspect of the universe. Water freezes at 0°C not 100°C, so A is wrong. The idea that more crimes occur during a full - moon is a myth, not a scientific law, so D is wrong. While the expansion of the universe is a scientific finding, the law of conservation of matter (matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction) is a well - established scientific law.

Answer:

C. Matter cannot be created or destroyed.
