What is the characteristic of scientific method given by Karl Popper ?

  • A.Replicability
  • B.Hypothesis
  • C.Falsifiability
  • D.Experimentation

Answer: C

Popper's characteristic of scientific method is falsifiability.

In The Logic of Scientific Discovery, Karl Popper argued that no number of confirming instances can prove a universal theory true, but a single contrary observation can show it false. A theory is scientific only if it makes claims that could, in principle, be refuted by evidence.

Replicability, hypotheses and experimentation are general features of scientific work, but they are not Popper's criterion for separating science from non-science.
