Answer (3)
The answer is the option C. hypothesis. If the option A, confuses you, think that an experiment is not per se an explanation, it is just a way to run trials to determine something.

The correct answer is option C: hypothesis. A hypothesis is a testable explanation for observations that can be supported or refuted through experimentation. It is important to differentiate between a hypothesis and an experiment, as the former is a proposed explanation while the latter tests that explanation.
