When a researcher tests his or her hypothesis, he or she is often hoping to gather information that is consistent with a particular theory. What, more specifically, allows a researcher to say that he or she has “proven” a theory? 
A) Any time a hypothesis is confirmed, a theory is automatically “proven.” 
B) Any time a hypothesis confirms one theory and simultaneously disconfirms at least one other theory, a theory has been “proven.” 
C) Any time a hypothesis confirms one theory and simultaneously disconfirms all other known theories, a theory has been “proven.” 
D) A researcher is never really able to say that he or she has “proven” a theory.
