B. The question can be answered using scientific methods is what makes a question a scientific question. Scientific questions are testable questions that can be answered through scientific investigation, experimentation and observation. They are based on empirical evidence and can be answered using scientific methods such as the scientific method. Polling people's opinions or asking a question just because a scientist is asking it does not necessarily make it a scientific question.
