The answer is the first one: A testable statement that provides a tentative explanation to your question.

Explanation for each option:

  1. A testable statement that provides a tentative explanation to your question: This is the correct definition of a hypothesis. In scientific research, a hypothesis is a statement that can be tested through experiments or observations, and it offers a provisional explanation for a phenomenon.

  2. A non-testable statement that provides a definite answer to your question: This is incorrect because a hypothesis must be testable. It is not a definite answer but rather a starting point for investigation.

  3. A prediction of what may happen in the future: While a hypothesis can include predictions, it is more than just a prediction. It is a statement that can be tested and potentially falsified.

  4. The truth: This is incorrect because a hypothesis is not necessarily the truth. It is a proposed explanation that needs to be tested and validated through research.

In summary, a hypothesis is a testable statement that provides a tentative explanation to your question.
