Explanation

'Hypothetical' relates to something based on assumption, theory, or supposition rather than fact or reality - conjectural or theoretical. Option A (methodical) means systematic - unrelated to assumption vs fact. Option B (based on supposition) accurately defines hypothetical's core meaning. Option C (double faced) means deceptive - unrelated. Option D (to do with superstition) confuses belief systems with theoretical reasoning. Hypothetical specifically involves reasoning from assumptions rather than proven facts.
