A good hypothesis should be

APrecise, specific and consistent with most known facts

BFormulated in such a way that it can be tested by data

COf limited scope and not needlessly global in significance

DAll of the above ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) All of the above

Explanation

A good hypothesis carries all three qualities together, so All of the above holds.

Being precise, specific and consistent with most known facts keeps it grounded in existing evidence.

It must be framed so that data can actually test it, giving it empirical verifiability.

Limited scope keeps it focused, avoiding needless global sweep that cannot be examined.

Each single option states only one merit, so none alone captures a good hypothesis.

A hypothesis should also be simple, stated in the most economical terms possible.
