The correct response is:

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

This is because both hypotheses and theories are scientific concepts that require empirical evidence for validation, but they differ in their level of validation and complexity. A hypothesis is a testable prediction 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.
