Skinny Jeans · Answer 1

Answer: B-After new hypotheses related to the theory are tested in experiments.

Explanation:

A scientific theory can be define as a proposed explanation for a natural event or phenomena that is obtain after repeated experimental procedures. A scientific theory can be changed or amendments can be done in it's content with new discoveries and related evidences.

The implementation of the new technology can reduce the time to conduct the experiments and will also improve the accuracy. Therefore, a new hypothesis can be generated on the basis of the pre-proposed theory by utilizing the new technology.
