Collection of information is seen in both science and non-science. Therefore, this character cannot distinguish science from non-science. Thus, the option (a) the collection of information is incorrect.
Acceptance of the experts' advice is observed in both science and non-science. Therefore, this character also cannot distinguish science from non-science. Hence, the option (c) acceptance of experts' advice is incorrect.
The information that never changes or which is constant is seen in both non-science and science issues. Therefore, even this character cannot distinguish the science from the non-science. Hence, the option (d) information that never changes is also incorrect.
The testing of hypothesis is observed only in science and not in non-science. The testing of hypothesis is based on assumptions, methods used to gather and organize information, and devising an experiment. Finally, the important thing is the validity. Thus, this character can distinguish science from non-science.
Hence, the correct option is (b) the testing of hypothesis.
