Question

which of the following best describes the relationship between theories and laws? a theory can never become a law. a law will always become a theory. theories and laws are the same thing.

Explanation:

In science, a theory is an explanation of a natural phenomenon (e.g., the theory of evolution explains how species change over time), while a law is a description of a natural phenomenon (e.g., Newton's law of gravity describes the force of gravity). Theories and laws serve different purposes, and a theory (an explanation) can never become a law (a description) because they are distinct types of scientific knowledge. A law does not become a theory, and they are not the same. So the correct statement is that a theory can never become a law.

Answer:

A. A theory can never become a law.
