Explanation:

In the context of scientific knowledge, a theory is developed through scientific inquiry. It is a well - substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experimentation. A theory is not a mere guess, nor is it just an expert's opinion, and it's different from a proven fact (facts are individual pieces of evidence, while a theory explains a set of related facts).

Answer:

B. A theory is an explanation of something using scientific inquiry.
