Question

What effect, if any, does the development of new areas of science and technology have on theories? Theories may change as a result of new information. Theories may be proven to be true and become laws. Theories may not change because they are facts. Theories may be proven to be true and become hypotheses

Answer 1

Development of new areas in science and technology affects theories in a way that the theory, because of new information can change. Almost all theories change over time because of new evidence and new information. Sometimes they even become obsolete because a new theory is formed that is better than the old theory.

For example, Newtons theory of gravity is still good enough for some area of physical research, when we talk about macroscopic bodies that don't have a very high velocity. But Newtons theory has been expanded by Einstein's theory of relativity and quantum mechanics because those theories explain in a much more precise way how particles like photons act when they have very high velocities and how very small particles, like electrons act. 

All of the other options here are false. Theories can't, by definition become laws. Theories can't, by definition, become facts. And finally, theories, by definition, can't become hypotheses. 

Answer 2

the answer is A because theories can change overtime due to new technology or new information
