A scientific law is typically a statement that describes a consistent and universal relationship observed in nature, often expressed as a mathematical formula. Based on your options, the statement that could be considered a scientific law is:
**B. Objects dropped above the earth will eventually fall down to the surface of the earth.**
This statement essentially describes the consistent observation that objects fall due to the force of gravity, making it a dependable outcome. While option A describes gravity, it does so in a more general way. Options C and D are explanations of phenomena that involve interpretations and are not universally applicable in a way that would classify them as laws.
**B. Objects dropped above the earth will eventually fall down to the surface of the earth.**
