Determine if the following statement is true or false, and why. "A hypothesis can be proven true."

A. False, it should read "A hypothesis can only be proven false."

B. True

C. False, it should read "A hypothesis cannot be tested."

D. False, it should read "A hypothesis can't be proven true if it is falsifiable."

it's true. answer is B.

a hypothesis is a stage before formation of theory. so when we put forward a hypothesis to prove something (in scientific observation) it can be proven true with the experiments conducted.

but of course it's can be proven wrong too, after the experiments conducted. then it is disregard.

a proven hypothesis (a true hypothesis) is the reason for theories.
