Which of the following statements describe a part of the scientific method? Choose one or more: O A. You notice that a certain plant seems to bloom shortly before it rains; you are curious and decide to investigate this phenomenon. O B. You design an experiment in which you will record your observations every day for one year of when the plant blooms and when it rains. O C. You use the Internet to find information on the plant you have observed, which seems to bloom shortly before it rains, and you see that one other person has noticed the same phenomenon. You decide that this is enough information, and you develop a theory that this type of plant can predict when it will rain. O D. You develop a hypothesis for the phenomenon you have noticed, which states that "the plant always blooms shortly before it rains." O E. You notice that during the winter months, the plant does not bloom shortly before it rains, and thus you decide that your hypothesis, which states that the plant always blooms before it rains, is incorrect.

I have tried it many times but no luck.

Which of the following statements describe a part of the scientific method?
Choose one or more:
A. You notice that a certain plant seems to bloom shortly before it rains; you are curious and decide to
investigate this phenomenon.
O B. You design an experiment in which you will record your observations every day for one year of when the
plant blooms and when it rains.
C. You use the Internet to find information on the plant you have observed, which seems to bloom shortly
before it rains, and you see that one other person has noticed the same phenomenon. You decide that this is
enough information, and you develop a theory that this type of plant can predict when it will rain.
D.
develop a hypothesis for the phenomenon you have noticed, which states that "the plant always blooms
shortly before it rains."
O E. You notice that during the winter months, the plant does not bloom shortly before it rains, and thus you
decide that your hypothesis, which states that the plant always blooms before it rains, is incorrect.

Expert Solution
Introduction

The scientific method is how an individual or a group observes certain behaviors of organisms or some physical phenomenon and proposes a hypothesis based on the observations. After that, the researcher performs experiments that prove the propounded hypothesis. A scientific method is essential to propose a scientific law or statement; otherwise, it would be susceptible to be called out as a fraud by the scientific community. For this reason, following the proper Scientific method while conducting research is essential.
