Correct answer: It cannot be tested.

Reason: Science deals with empirical, testable, and falsifiable questions — those answerable by observation, experimentation, and data. If a question cannot be tested (no conceivable observations or experiments could support or refute an answer), it lies outside the scientific realm. Questions based only on personal beliefs or values are also generally outside science for the same reason (they aren’t empirically testable), whereas questions that can be investigated and whose answers are based on evidence are within science.
