Answer

Brief Explanations:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

  • A theory is an explanation of phenomena, not just a statement of fact.
  • Probability deals with likelihood, not universal observed facts.
  • A scientific law is a statement of fact, universally accepted as true because it's always observed to be true (e.g., Newton's laws, law of gravity).
  • A hypothesis is a proposed explanation to be tested, not a universally accepted fact.

So the correct option is "law".

Answer:

C. law
