The answer is A. Scientific theories are just educated guesses based on collected knowledge and/or scientific experiments conducted by a scientist, and are accepted to an extent that makes it decently believable. As research continues and discovery is made, theroies can change a lot, can become a law, can be discarded, or have no change at all. It just depends on the situation.
