When a theory is disproved by further evidence, which of the following occurs?


A.) It should be considered a failure.

B.) It adds to scientific knowledge.

C.) It becomes a law.

D.) New data must be found to support it.

Verified Answer :

Answer: D. New data must be found to support it

When a theory is disproved by other further evidence, it is just proper to look for new data to support the theory until it is proven otherwise. It cannot be considered a failure right away but cannot be part of the scientifi knowledge too and more not to become a law.

Answer : Option D) New data must be found to support it.

Explanation :

When a theory is disproved by further evidence, then a new data must be found to support it.

As the previous approach to the theory was disproved then new ways should be explored to support it.  If the same core approach would be used to find answers then it may be difficult to get it supported by the theory. There must be new data that has to be developed with logical approach and must be supported by evidence.
