Explain the difference between a theory and scientific law

Theory- a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.

Scientific law- a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspect of the universe.

A scientific theory is an in depth explanation of a observed phenomena And scientific law is simply an observation of the phenomenon that the theory attempts to explain. like when newton saw an apple fall form a tree he observed a phenomena which is called the law of gravity the law states that every time you drop an apple it will fall to the ground and the theory would explan why the apple falls to the ground.

The answer is c - the principal of original lateral continuity.
