Correct answer: C
A hypothesis is a tentative statement about the relationship between variables. Valid criteria for constructing a hypothesis include: it should describe one issue only, specify the variables involved, be specific and precise, and be empirically testable. Statement B is incorrect because hypotheses must focus on a single issue rather than many.
Thus, statements A, C, D, and E are correct criteria for hypothesis construction. Consequently, Option 2 is the correct answer.
