The false statement from the given statements is option a.

A hypothesis is a intelligent guess or prediction to interpret or explain any phenomena.

It is tested through the series of experiments and by number of studies to actually decide whether hypothesis is in agreement with observation and results predicted by it. These prediction are made on basis of limited evidences. It can be false or true.
