remove the old theory from historical records change the research notes in the original theory use the new information to update the old theory ban the public from discussing the old theory
I gave my students this multiple choice question: New research uncovers information that proves that the data from an old theory is partially incorrect. What should the scientific community do about the old theory?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- remove the old theory from historical records
- change the research notes in the original theory
- use the new information to update the old theory
- ban the public from discussing the old theory

Could you tell me which one is correct?

use the new information to update the old theory
