"Can a theory be proven incorrect?" absolutely, even after it has been successfully proven a "good scientific theory" (proven as in experimented, documented, tested ect...... )The theory itself can be retested and then also be proven to be incorrect. Such as subtle changes in the environment of which the study was tested can alter the results to be give a true or false outcome. Thus, in my opinion much of the reasoning behind the statement nothing in the World is absolutely 100%.

What best describes a conceptual scheme in science that is strongly supported has not yet been found incorrected?

A conceptual scheme in science that is strongly supported but has not been found incorrect is considered a well-established theory. This means that it has withstood repeated testing and scrutiny and remains the most accurate explanation for a set of phenomena. Examples include the theory of evolution in biology and the theory of relativity in physics.
