Answer 1

Answer: C.) Prediction, tentative, one or more scientists working together.

Explanation:

The prediction, tentative, one or more scientists working together is the correct option which describes a hypothesis. This is because of the fact that an hypothesis is an presumed statement of facts which is required to be tested by using suitable methodology. Scientists basically base their scientific hypothesis keeping in mind the previous theories or observation which were not proved satisfactorily earlier or exhibit some doubtful facts which are taken important for verification.
