A theory differs from a hypothesis in that the hypothesis is:

A. a set of methods that are used to generate data

B. a prediction that can be falsified

C. an integrated set of predictions that has been repeatedly verified

D. a complete explanation for a pattern observed in an experiment

Option B. a prediction that can be falsified.

Explanation:

Hypothesis can be as an assumption or prediction made prior to a research which is to be tested in order to get the proof whether right or wrong and hence can be falsified if the test fails to prove the hypothesis.

On the hand, 'Theory' can be explained as the principle or set of valid rules so as to already existing phenomenon supported by evidences or data present.

Theories provides explanations to the results of experiments and hence are based on proved facts and data.
