The correct option is OPTION D.

Pseudoscience refers to practices that are believed to be scientific in nature whereas they have no basis whatsoever in science. There is a wide range of differences between scientific practice and pseudoscience. For instance, to arrive at valid conclusions and facts, science usually follows a predetermined method, that is common to all scientist (this is called scientific method), in contrast, pseudoscience does not have a specific pattern of arriving at valid conclusions. Thus, collecting information by recorded method is one of the properties of scientific investigation.
