After it was discovered, astronomers predicted uranus's orbit using newton's laws of motion and gravity, which had worked extremely well for all of the other planets. to their surprise, they found that their observations of uranus's motion through the sky did not match their predictions. which of the following would be the most logical next step?

a. check for other previously undiscovered factors that might alter uranus's orbit while still allowing it to obey newton's laws of motion and gravity.
b. newton's laws of motion and gravity must be modified to match the data.
c. newton's laws of motion and gravity have been falsified, so they should be scrapped in favor of a completely new hypothesis.
d. if the data doesn't match newton's laws of motion and gravity, then the data must be bad, so this finding should be disregarded.
