What can a hypothesis NOT be?
A
If, Then, Because Statement
B
An Inference (reasonable prediction)
C
Statement that has to be true
D
An educated guess
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A hypothesis is usually a prediction based on some observation or evidence. Hypotheses must be testable, and once tested, they can be supported by evidence. If a statement is made that cannot be tested and disproved, then it is not a hypothesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -A hypothesis or model is called falsifiable if it is possible to conceive of an experimental observation that disproves the idea in question. That is, one of the possible outcomes of the designed experiment must be an answer, that if obtained, would disprove the hypothesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Scientific hypotheses cannot be proven because for any set of results, there are always alternate hypotheses that generate the same predictions, and scientists cannot test all possible hypotheses.

Detailed explanation-4: -A hypothesis is an educated guess or prediction about the relationship between two variables. It must be a testable statement; something that you can support or falsify with observable evidence. The objective of a hypothesis is for an idea to be tested, not proven.
