The correct answer is: From a hypothesis to a theory.

In scientific terms, a hypothesis is an initial educated guess that can be tested, while a theory is a well-substantiated explanation based on a body of evidence that has been repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation. In this scenario, the researcher started with a hypothesis, and after numerous tests and consistent evidence, it evolved into a widely accepted theory.
