Karla Salinas · Answer 1

The correct answer would be (b) All scientific theories are subject to change and improvement.

Explanation:

No theory is considered the absolute truth, although some have been proved and deeply studied, through years many theories that were considered completely true, have become incomplete or false. Therefore, as true and correct a theory sounds, it can still be proved wrong in the future.
