Kailyn Riggs · Answer 2

The correct option is C. A law is a statement of fact.

Explanation:

A theory can be described as a detailed explanation of an observation. It explains the reasons for the occurrence of a particular phenomenon in detail. A particular theory might grow exceptions to it.

A law can be described as a statement or a fact that is not subjected to any change. The law is a universally accepted fact. Contrary to theory, a law doesn't give a detailed explanation for the occurrence of a particular phenomenon.
