Answer:

D. Two scientists may have different underlying assumptions that lead them to different conclusions about the same thing.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's all about how a person analyzes data. Some do it mathmatically while others do it logically. By doing it different ways, you may still come to the same conclusion, despite working at the problem in a different way.

Scientists are biased, and want to prove their specific hypothesis is right.
