Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The only answer that makes sense is A. Her hypothesis could've been wrong, for starters. That does NOT mean she's a bad scientist or should she come up with an excuse on why the results didn't support it. The best way to go about it would be either repeating the experiment multiple times and then changing one variable and testing that too.
