b) An empirically testable statement that is an unproven supposition developed in order to explain phenomena.

Step-by-step explanation:

b) An empirically testable statement that is an unproven supposition developed in order to explain phenomena.

A hypothesis is an unproven supposition. This may be derived from previous research or theory and is developed prior to data collection.

Note:

Variance is the average squared deviations about the mean of a distribution of values.
