C. Does eating less fat increase a mouse's lifespan?
(If a mouse eats less fat in its meals then will it live longer: compared to other mice lives.

This is a testable question that can be answered by designing and conducting an experiment.

I think D could be correct as well.

My final answer is D.

Answer:

its C. Does eating less fat increase a mouse's life span?

Explanation:A scientific question cannot be asked about something that does not exist, so the question about dragons is out. Similarly, starfish do not fall in love as far as we know, nor would we have a reliable way of measuring how they did. The cricket question asks only "why?" and lists no variables. The only question left is "Does eating less fat increase a mouse's life span?" This question can be answered by giving different mice various diets and seeing how long they live.
