Tessa · Answer 2

The correct answer is B. It relies on evidence based on personal experiences or beliefs.

Explanation:

Pseudoscience is false science which includes religious and personal beliefs, theories and some practices which some people consider that it is scientific but in reality can not be proved by science.

Pseudoscience originates due to lack of literacy in science among people. Even in schools and our culture pseudoscience is very widely spread. Believing in Paranormal activities is one of the most well known example of pseudoscience.

The most important cause of pseudoscience is social and cultural effects, lack of knowledge, personal experience or beliefs, errors in mass media to make news sensational.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. It relies on evidence based on personal experiences or beliefs.
