Hey there! :D

In the Scientific Method, you make a hypothesis (or inference) based on observations or questions to make from the world around you. An observation is not a fact, nor is an inference an opinion. 

The best answer is: "C" An inference is an attempted explanation based on observations. 

I hope this helps!
