Patterns in mathematics can NOT be the representation of which of the following?

This question was previously asked in
CTET 2022 Paper 2 Maths Question Paper (Jan-27-2023) (Eng-Hin-Skt)
The correct answer is

Theorems

Recognising a pattern lets a learner notice a possible regularity and state it as a conjecture or a hypothesis — an informed guess that is yet to be established.

A pattern can also be used to check whether such a guess continues to hold across further cases, so patterns support the process of verification as well.

A theorem, however, is a statement that has already been rigorously and logically proved from accepted axioms and previously proved results — a pattern observed across several cases, however convincing, is not itself a proof and cannot substitute for one.

Hence, patterns in mathematics cannot be the representation of theorems.
