Answer 1

Introduction to Biology: Scientific method

The scientific method is a way to obtain knowledge in a systematic way and use it to understand natural phenomena.

The first step of the scientific method is observation, where the characteristics of the phenomena are considered and noted.

Then, a question is formulated from the observations and a hypothesis or inference of what the answer would be is made.

An example of this is the observation of feeding patterns of honeybees, and then the inference of what the honeybees prefer.

This means the right answer is A. A scientist analyzes the feeding patterns of honeybees and determines that honeybees prefer nectar over pollen.
