Some scientists have expressed reservations about quantum theory because of its counterintuitive consequences. But despite rigorous attempts to show that quantum theory' s predictions were inaccurate, they were shown to be accurate within the generally accepted statistical margin of error. These results, which have not been equaled by quantum theory' s competitors, warrant acceptance of quantum theory. Which one of the following principles most helps to justify the reasoning above?
A: A scientific theory should be accepted if it has been subjected to serious attempts to disprove it and has withstood all of them.
B: The consequences of a scientific theory should not be considered counterintuitive if the theory's predictions have been found to be accurate.
C: A scientific theory should be accepted if it has fewer counterintuitive consequences than do its competitors.
D: A theory should be accepted only if its predictions have not been disproved by experiment.
Choose A, B, C or D as your solution.
