Correct answer: "it is supported by a controlled experiment with multiple trials that can be repeated by others."

Explanation: A scientific claim must be backed by empirical evidence—ideally from controlled, repeatable experiments with multiple trials. The other choices describe controlled variables (choice 2), a flawed experiment design with multiple changing variables (choice 3), and a hypothesis (choice 4).
