A Correct answer
Explanation

The existence of scientific laws - consistent mathematical patterns governing the universe - poses a challenge for materialistic explanations.

These laws are not self-explanatory (they describe but don't explain themselves) and mathematics alone cannot explain why the universe follows mathematical patterns.
