In doing research or experiments, it is necessary that the variables applied on the test subjects are the same. In the problem, the factor that will most likely result in the greatest amount of error will be the plant subjects. Different plants have different growth rates, and their growth can be affected by the many variables such as sunlight, disturbance, location, etc.
