• Option b: Pseudoscience consists of statements, beliefs, or practices that are claimed to be scientific but lack the scientific method's objectivity and empirical testing, so it is not objective.

• Option d: Scientific bias is a deviation from objectivity in scientific research, so it is not an objective way to describe the natural world.

a) scientific theory
