Answer:

C, a tentative explanation

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. The explanation is tentative (not certain or fixed) and it based on collected evidence, one that can be tested.

A hypothesis is based on previous observation. It can be dismissed or confirmed by further research. A confirmed hypothesis may become part of a theory.

The word hypothesis stems from the ancient Greek where it meant ' to suppose'.
