1.
A theory cannot be equated with knowledge because the body of knowledge includes facts that are not related to a particular theory or belong to phenomena beyond the subject of a particular scientific discipline. Hence, option 'a' is correct.
2.
In science, a theory should be supported by a substantial body of evidence and provide the ability to make many correct predictions. These are parts of definition of a theory in science. Hence, option 'b' is correct.
3.
The scientific method in the biological science is called hypothesis testing. The observation in hypothesis explains the testable that makes specific predictions. A theory in science provides the ability to make many correct predictions. Hence, option 'c' is correct.
4.
Since, a theory in science is equated with knowledge and supported by a substantial body of evidence to provide the ability to make correct predictions. The option 'a', 'b' and 'c' is correct.
Hence, the correct option is (d) all of the above.
