What is an example of a hypothesis leading to a new experiment?

A hypothesis is a proposed explanation or prediction that can be tested. In choice C, Galileo first hypothesized that objects of different weights fall at the same speed, then tested that idea by dropping balls of different weights. Choice B describes the experiment but presents the idea as something the experiment was meant to explain, rather than showing the hypothesis leading to the experiment.
