Answer 1

The answer would be C.

That’d be a correct hypothesis for the research question asked.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a scientific method, a hypothesis is a well-substantiated idea or opinion made based on limited evidence for further investigation.

In the given question, the question has been asked based on the observation that "carrots grew larger on the left side than right side" based on which a hypothesis could be suggested which could be tested.

The most valid hypothesis from the options will be" the carrots with more exposure to sunlight will grow larger than which are not exposed to sunlight." This hypothesis can be tested easily by keeping the pots in the sunlight and results can be explained.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
