If an experiment disproves a scientist's hypothesis, what should the scientist do next?
1. Develop a testable question.
2. Revise the hypothesis and try the experiment again.
3. Develop a theory based on the data gathered in the experiment.
4. Change the dependent variable.
Is it 2?

I agree with 2, but not necessarily repeat the same experiment, but rather a revised one.
But there isn't a better option than 2, right?
So is 2 the correct answer?
