Question 10 of 10

and experiments?
A. Results are not used to prove cause and effect.
B. Data are collected about a population.
O C. The researcher exercises direct control over at least one variable.
D. The subjects are observed, and their behavior is recorded.

B. Data are collected about a population.

Explanation:

Data collected isn't experimenting. Experimenting is when you modify certain things in the population, not just take data from it. Hence, option b is just observation, not experimenting.
