Answer

C

Work Step by Step

Try to avoid saying that a theory is "true" or "proven," because theories are observations that have enough evidence to support them and not necessarily considered to be scientific facts. Therefore, we can eliminate A, B and E. Hypotheses are educated specific guesses, whereas theories are much broader usually supported by various experiments. Therefore, C is our correct answer.
