When new data is found which goes against an existing scientific prediction, a theory on the subject can either be discarded or modified but scientific laws hardly change because of a new data. The correct option would, therefore, be C.
In science, theories are derived when a phenomenon holds true after several independent investigations have been made into it. When new contradicting data emerge and also holds true in independent findings, relevant theories may either be modified or outrightly discarded for a new one.
Laws, however, are formed from data that holds true for a very wide range of phenomena. Hence, a new contradicting data will not be sufficient to change laws in science.
In summary, changing a current law to account for a new data is NOT a potential result of the research that produced the data.
