The correct answer will be option-The new data will allow scientists to turn the theory into a law.

Explanation:

A scientific investigation is based on the evidence to understand and explain the natural phenomenon.

If some hypothesis (predicted hypothesis) has transformed into a theory (well-substantiated idea), then it would have been supported by evidence.

Since the scientist has found new data which confirmed the old tectonic plate theory then this will help change the theory and transform it into a scientific law as new finding is data and no explanation.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

so whats the answer
