Answer:

Its D

Step-by-step explanation:

The lamp and the ice bag were at the same place.

Sounds like the experiment was intended to show on a small scale ocean currents from the poles to the equator and back to the poles. The bag of ice would simulate the cold at the poles while the lamp would simulate the heat provided by the sun near the equator. With that in mind, let's look at the possible flaws and see what is likely.

Not enough ink was added
