A
A-A hypothesis requires no further investigation.
B
B-A hypothesis may lead to further investigation even if it is disproved by the experiment
C
C-A hypothesis requires no further investigation if it is proved by the experiment.
D
D-A hypothesis can be used to explain a conclusion even if it is disproved by the experiment.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In science, a hypothesis is an educated guess that can be tested with observations and falsified if it really is false. You cannot prove conclusively that most hypotheses are true because it’s generally impossible to examine all possible cases for exceptions that would disprove them.

Detailed explanation-2: -Scientists can learn experimental procedures through repeated testing of a hypothesis. Repeated tests help determine whether the hypothesis is always true in different circumstances. Repeatedly testing a hypothesis qualifies it to be accepted as a theory.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
