Which one of the following is NOT correct? A belief becomes a scientific truth when it

AIs established experimentally

BIs arrived at logically

CIs accepted by many people ✓ Correct

DCan be replicated

Correct answer: (C) Is accepted by many people

Explanation

A belief's acceptance by many people does not make it a scientific truth.

Scientific truth is established by experiment, sound logic and replication.

Popular agreement is a social fact, not a test of the claim's truth.

Many widely held beliefs have been shown false by evidence.

So wide acceptance is the wrongly listed mark of scientific truth.
