Deven Perry · Answer 1

The correct answer to the following question will be Option C.

Explanation:

The theory seems to be the context within which findings are explained as well as possible predictions are made. This theoretical perspective discusses the factors behind the results as well as the laws. Theories have been used in scientific knowledge to give wide interpretations to accommodate observed facts in case the root reason is still yet to be found as well as characterized.

So that Option C will be the right answer.
