The correct response is: **The hypothesis requires further investigation or revision.**
Finding that data contradicts an initial hypothesis does not automatically mean the experiment was poorly designed, that the results are meaningless, or that the hypothesis is definitively wrong. It may simply indicate the need for further investigation or exploration of the hypothesis, including possible revisions based on the new data.
