Theories explain Facts. - choice D.
Facts are observations. When we make a factual observation we are naturally curious as to why the thing we observed is the way it is, so we come up with a theory. In science, what we come up with is actually a hypothesis, and by testing we can either support or refute this hypothesis. After many repetitions and further experimentation reveal more and more detail about this phenomenon which we had originally observed, eventually we have enough well supported hypotheses to form a cohesive theory, which is essentially an abstract model of the natural phenomenon which caused the original observation and many other natural events like it.
confusing problem. look into into search engines like google. that will could actually help!
