According to the text, which of the following best captures the meaning of the concept of
  falsifiability of theory?


 
 

a. If a theory is falsifiable, researchers have actually collected data that tend to
  disconfirm the theory.
  b. If a theory is falsifiable, then it should be possible to specify ahead of time what
  sort of data, if it were observed, would make the hypothesis false.
  c. If a theory is falsifiable, then it is never really possible to prove the theory true
  eitherthus serving to guarantee the important notion that science is always
  tentative.
  d. If a theory is falsifiable, it conflicts with the notion that truth is at least
  possiblethus contradicting one of the essential pillars of science.
  e. If a theory is falsifiable, then it has little value to the scientific community
  because it can never be shown to be true.
