Option D, It can be right only if it is found to be false

Explanation:

A hypothesis has be falsifiable because only then a theory or research statement can be proved right. Usually a hypothesis is considered in a way that it is a negative representation of a fact.

For example -

If sun in round in shape and this statement is to be tested, Then the hypothesis assumed shall be

H1: Sun is not round.

And in case the main motive of researcher shall be to prove this hypothesis as false as only then he/she will be able to prove that "sun is round"

Hence, option D is correct.
