A proposal that may provisionally serve as a starting point for further research is known as a ................. .
Answer: A
The proposal is known as a hypothesis.
A hypothesis is a tentative statement, usually about the relationship between variables, that is put forward provisionally so that it can be tested. It serves as the starting point of an investigation: the researcher collects data to see whether it is supported or rejected.
A theory is a well-tested system of explanation, not a provisional starting point. A model is a simplified representation of a system. A principle is an established general rule. Only the hypothesis is, by definition, provisional and meant to guide further research.
