Answer/Explanation:

Experimental investigations are the best type of scientific investigation to demonstrate cause-and-effect relationships because they allow the investigator to actively manipulate variables and control conditions. This change can be measured to gather evidence to support or refute the cause-and-effect relationship. Experimental investigations also use a control group a group that does not receive the factor being tested for comparison.
