When scientists have made many observations and collected existing data, they suggest a possible explanation for what they have

seen and recorded. this explanation, called a hypothesis, is a statement that both explains their observations and data and can be tested. hypothesizing is a very important step in scientific investigations. a statement is testable if evidence can be collected that either supports or disproves it. a hypothesis may be shown to be wrong, but it can never be proved true beyond all doubt. it can only be supported by evidence. at any time, new data might indicate that a previously accepted hypothesis does not hold true in all instances. scientists often must refine and revise their original hypotheses—or even discard them—as they uncover new evidence. to test a hypothesis, scientists make a prediction that logically follows from the hypothesis. a prediction is a statement made in advance that states the results that will be obtained from testing a hypothesis, if the hypothesis is true. a prediction most often takes the form of an “if-then” statement. a hypothesis is often tested by carrying out an experiment. experimenting is the process of testing a hypothesis and its predictions by gathering data under controlled conditions.

Copied but correct answer.

Answer: C (She hasn't fastened the slide to the stage

Explanation:

In Microscopy even if the slide is not yet in focus,she will be able to see part of the slide which may appear as transparent image.Therefore this is a wrong answer.

If the microscope is not plugged it light can not come up.

If there are no specimen on the slide,the slide will still as transparent image at the focus.

No doubt Stella forgot to fasten the slide to the stage.,therefore the specimen on the slide was not in focus of the objective lens,rather she was focusing on the stage only,hence the visible white light.
