Answer 2

Answer:

B. They are new ideas

Explanation:

Here is how a scientific idea is accepted:

First a researcher presents the idea and its proof to the scientific community in the form of a scientific paper via the submission to a journal.

This paper then is reviewed by the experts in the field. If the results seem acceptable to them then it is published in the journal.

Now, the acceptance of the paper depends on the number of citations the paper gets.

When there is a new idea which is accepted they are unknown to the scientific community. As the paper gets older the number of people who have read the paper increases and if they think it is right then the idea gains consensus.
