Answer:

C. No, because he used different soils.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to obtain reliable data to support a conclusion during an investigation, you need to control as many variables as possible. Joe put the plants in the same pots and placed them in the same location, and he should have also used the same soil for all of the plants.
