just a heads up i need this as soon as posible

( like today not to be rude)
I think its 1
thanks😁 But....πŸ™ can you explain so I can understand better
1. it is a possible answer to a scientific question
2. it is a scientific inquiry that cannot be tested
3. it is a fact
4. it is always true
Just think about these answers.
You KNOW 4 can't be right. If a hypothesis were always true why would we need to test it?
You KNOW 3 can't be right. If it's a fact we already know the answer.
2. You KNOW 2 can't be right. We can test almost anything.
So what what does that leave you with? Look up the definition of hypothesis. 1 is the best choice of the 4 listed. Right?
