Explanation

A good hypothesis is a possible, evidence-informed explanation for a scientific question that can be tested. The test should produce measurable results, so the hypothesis can be evaluated. Personal opinion alone is not a sound basis, and a hypothesis should draw on prior knowledge or research; therefore, B, C, and E are correct.
