Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypotheses are used to support scientific research and create breakthroughs in knowledge. These brief statements are what form the basis of entire research experiments. Thus, a flaw in the formulation of a hypothesis may cause a flaw in the design of an entire experiment.

Detailed explanation-2: -While not all scientific investigations require a hypothesis, it can be easier to test a preexisting theory instead of developing a new theory during your experiment. You may use your intuition to develop a theory or conduct research about the topic.

Detailed explanation-3: -Make Predictions A hypothesis is a possible answer to a question. It is based on: their own observations, existing theories, and information they gather from other sources. Scientists use their hypothesis to make a prediction, a testable statement that describes what they think the outcome of an investigation will be.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is (E) testable. A hypothesis is an educated guess that may explain an observation or answer a question. Hypotheses must be testable so that an experiment can be performed to determine whether they are false or correct.
