Explanation

A hypothesis is a proposed explanation or theory that has not been proven yet, while a fact is something established as true through evidence. The key distinction is that a hypothesis represents uncertainty and tentativeness, whereas a fact represents certainty and proven truth. Theory (B) and Conjecture (E) are synonyms or similar to hypothesis, not opposites.
