Which feature of a hypothesis leads to a new experiment?
a. a basis on research
b. a dependency on prior knowledge
c. a possible explanation
d. an ability to be tested

The feature of a hypothesis that leads to a new experiment is described by the statement D. "an ability to be tested".

Explanation:

A scientific hypothesis is a preliminar statement or prediction that can be testable; it is based on an observation, relates two variables and provides an explanation.

The testability of a hypothesis comes from the fact that it must relate objectively measurable variables: the independent variable and the dependent variable.

So, once the hypothesis has been correctly made, the scientist devises and conducts an experiment in which the indpendent variable is manipulated, other variables are controlled, to avoid not desired influences, and the resultant dependent variable is measured.

That is how the scientist can conclude whether the hypothesis is supported or rejected by the evidence (the results of the experiment).

D.an ability to be tested

Explanation:

An hypothesis is a statement or an scientific inquiry which is framed in order to prove a scientific discipline or theory. Scientists base the hypothesis on previous experimentation procedures. The hypothesis is testable which means it can be proved by the application of a suitable methodology.

On the basis of the above description, this can be said that the feature of a hypothesis which leads to a new hypothesis is D.an ability to be tested.
