Judith Browning · Answer 1

B. Anyone can make a claim, but a scientific claim is backed by experimental evidence.

Explanation:

A scientific claim represents a conclusion about a particular observation based on experimental results. Observation leads to the formation of a hypothesis which is then tested by experiment followed by a claim about the results. On the other hand, a claim is a general statement made by any person and does not need any experimental evidence.
