This scientific statement is

A scientist is interested in finding a cure for a particular disease. Based on several observations of patients with this disease, she decides to design an experiment which test the statement, "There is a genetic basis for getting this disease." This statement is an example of

A. A theory
B. A law
C. A hypothesis
D. Data

C. A hypothesis

This is an idea which can be tested--if it is genetic, you would expect to see a pattern of inheritance in pedigrees.

C - because it is her thought. A theory would be a logical explanation which is thought of by many other scientists too, a law would mean it is the correct statement and should be followed. And I don't think it's D either x

its C as it is just her idea that could be put on test(not yet proven)
