Answer 1

B. Construct a hypothesis

Answer 2

The correct answer will be option-C.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientific method is the systematic approach to understand and explain the natural events and phenomenon.

The method begins with making the observations which could lead to the formation of a scientific question. Background research is done based on which a predicted hypothesis is proposed which could be tested through the scientific experiments.

In the given question, student makes an observation on the basis of which he formulate a question. He do not review the background research on the question and directly formulates the hypothesis and follow other steps.

Since his method lacks the background research therefore, option-C is the correct answer.
