Answer 1

The correct response is:

Both a hypothesis and a theory need evidence to support them.

A hypothesis is an initial testable statement or prediction made based on limited evidence, while a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence. Both require scientific evidence to be validated.
