Our current understanding of evolution is called a theory because a. it has been supported repeatedly as new discoveries have been made. b. proven to be exactly true as originally proposed. c. corroborated by data that were gathered during a single experiment. d. developed from the postulates of many scientists.

The first alternative is correct (A).

The Theory of Evolution is a scientific theory, which obeys methodological assumptions like any theory.

A theory is considered consistent while all results related to its content confirm the theory proposed in the theory. Thus, theories have duration until there is a new theoretical hypothesis capable of refuting the arguments used to support that theory.

The Theory of Evolution has been sustained over the years precisely because of its consistency. The new discoveries that are made corroborate what was proposed by Charles Darwin. If one day some new discovery proves that the theory of evolution was wrong, a new theory will be proposed to explain the evolution of the species. So the concept of theory exists, it means that it is what science agrees at that moment, but that it can be replaced at some point by another theory that is more consistent.
