The most accurate response is:
Both a hypothesis and a theory need evidence to support them.
A hypothesis is a testable prediction or explanation that can be supported or refuted through experimentation and observation, while a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence. Both require evidence to be accepted and validated.
