B. Yes, if the theory is shown to predict future events.
C. No, because a theory is a complex explanation that does not become a
law.

The answer requires looking at the meaning of the words 'theory' and 'law'. The formal definition of a theory is that it is a comprehensive explanation of a observed phenomenon supported by a lot of evidence. Law is a fact that is bound to be true in nature, example Newton's second law. However, a theory is subjected to continuous refinements based on the several new findings that happen with time. These refinements make the theory appear incomplete. As with the theory of evolution, a lot of research work is being put to understand the complex phenomenon of genetic inheritance of traits of behaviour. Unless there are evidences from nature for all the aspects of evolution in theory, it'll remain a theory and not become a law.

Answer is A) Yes, if scientists decide that enough evidence supports the theory.

When a rigid body rotates about a fixed axis all the points in the body have the same angular acceleration.?

This is actually not a question. You are going to have to re-read it. If you are asking it as a question it will look like this: "When a rigid body rotates about a fixed axis, do all the points in the body have the same angular acceleration?"

Answer:

Incomplete dominance can be described as a phenomenon in which the dominant trait is not completely dominant over the recessive trait. Incomplete dominance can be determined when the dominant and the recessive trait merge to form a third type of trait. A new phenotype arises due to such a cross.

For example, when a black-feathered chicken is crossed with a white chicken and their alleles shown incomplete dominance, then offsprings having blue feathers can be seen.
