Hello! :) A hypothesis is an educated guess, pretty much how you think an experiment will turn out. So the only why to find out if your hypothesis is true is to C) design and conduct an experiment. Using false data is never a good idea,because you should always be truthful with results. Besides, you can't test a hypothesis that way. Communicating with others comes after the experiment, and results on the internet may be different from your circumstances, so it's better to do it yourself. Hope that wasn't too long and made sense. Just ask if you're still unclear about it. :D
