Only one answer is correct. What is the hypothesis within the "Scientific Method"? A. All hypotheses are also called theories. B. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a natural phenomenon. C. Only after the experimentation step will the hypothesis be needed to explain the data. D. The hypothesis is a statistical analysis that is used to determine the accuracy of the observation. E. The scientific method is designed to provide an objective way to gather knowledge. We never need to make any hypothesis in the process of following the scientific method.
