Question

Answer 2

She generalized it to living things when she was only observing plants.

When coming up with a scientific question it needs to be based on observation. As you see, what she was looking at were plants only. If she also observed this behavior with other living things, aside from plants and it needs to be several, it would be okay to generalize.
