A scientist is studying the Big Bang theory, which is a theory that attempts to explain the creation and early development of the universe. She finds new evidence that suggests this theory might be incorrect. What happens next?

A surprising result should first be checked by repeating experiments or observations to see whether the evidence is reliable and reproducible. If the findings are replicated, scientists can then evaluate whether the theory needs revision or replacement. New evidence alone does not immediately disprove and discard a well-supported theory, so A, more experiments are done to replicate the findings, is the best answer.
