Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is A because if you do change the independent variable and the experiment still doesn't work, then the problem is the hypothesis. The scientist could either choose to make a change to the hypothesis or abandon the entire experiment. That's why I think the answer is A.
