Question

select the statement that accurately describes what happened when new evidence was discovered. new evidence showed that the geocentric theory was incorrect. scientists ignored the new evidence and continued with the original theory. new evidence showed that the geocentric theory was incorrect. scientists were able to conduct new studies and change their understanding. new evidence failed to support the geocentric theory but supported the hypothesis. a new study was conducted. new evidence supported the original geocentric theory. scientists did not like it, so they created the heliocentric theory.

Explanation:

In science, new evidence (e.g., for heliocentrism) against geocentric theory leads scientists to study further and update understanding, not ignore or create theories out of dislike. Other options have illogical claims (e.g., ignoring evidence, unsupported hypothesis links, theory creation due to dislike).

Answer:

Scientists were able to conduct new studies and change their understanding. (The option with "New evidence showed that the geocentric theory was incorrect. Scientists were able to conduct new studies and change their understanding.")
