An explanation about the natural world.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. Where possible, theories are tested under controlled conditions in an experiment.

Everyday Theory introduces students to theory and how it applies to everyday life. By making students aware of their role as theorists in their own right, the authors reduce students' anxiety level.
