Thirty radish seeds moistened with plain
tap water all sprouted in three days. However,
NONE of a group of thirty radish seeds
moistened with salty tap water sprouted in that
time. What is the best way to investigate whether
the salt in the water killed the second group of
seeds or just prevented them from sprouting?
A. Repeat the experiment with all new seeds
B. Repeat the experiment with new seeds, but
use a greater amount of salt in the water
C. Rinse all salt off the unsprouted seeds and
moisten them with plain tap water
D. Rinse all salt off the unsprouted seeds and
moisten them again with salt water
