Answer:

After scientific experiments to test a hypothesis produce the same results, or B, would be the correct answer

Explanation:

Why can't A, C, or D be correct?

A. after scientists try to prove the theory wrong and fail.

This one says scientists try to prove a THEORY wrong! The question is asking how a hypothesis becomes a theory. Therefore, this cannot be correct.

C. when scientists collaborate on designing experiments.

This answer choice is a bit irrelevant. How so? Because it does not matter whether scientists collaborate on designing experiments or not. They only care about the outcome. So, if there is enough evidence supporting the hypothesis, it becomes a theory.

D. when most scientists accept the hypothesis as true.

Scientists need proof to prove a theory right or wrong. Even if most scientists accept a theory, and there is no evidence supporting that claim, the hypothesis cannot become a theory.

Why would B be the correct answer choice?

A hypothesis becomes a theory when there is enough proof to support it. Where could proof come from? Scientific experiments of course!
