Einstein’s theory of relativity was built on the research and ideas of other scientists. the theory of relativity proposes that the speed of light is a constant.

which of the following statements explains why this is considered to be a scientific theory?

scientists believe it is the best explanation because it is built on data and observations.

the majority of the scientific community voted on this theory over other possible explanations.

it is the best explanation because it supports the beliefs and opinions of most scientists.

it is a scientific law that has been supported by experimental data.

The correct answer will be option-It is the best explanation because it supports the beliefs and opinions of most scientists.

Explanation:

Albert Einstein is known for his theory of relativity which states that energy is a converted form of mass to the square of the speed of light which is constant.

Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist who used the facts and data from the papers of the previous physicist. Although he used the facts his theory became one of the important theory in the physics world as it explained the path of the light and the form in which it travels.

This theory is well accepted today as it was supported by the experiments and observation of the other works of different scientist. This led to the acceptance of the theory worldwide.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
