The correct response is:

**Theories are well established with lots of evidence data to support their claims, while hypotheses are based on limited data.**

This accurately reflects the difference between a hypothesis, which is a tentative explanation that can be tested, and a scientific theory, which is a well-substantiated explanation based on a body of evidence.
