The correct answer is C. Observation

Step-by-step explanation:

An observation is a statement a describes a phenomenon, which is the result of measuring the phenomenon or using the senses to collect information about it. Additionally, observations are part of the Scientific method because through observations it is possible to understand phenomena.

The sentence presented is an observation because this statement is the result of the researcher observing or measuring how fast kernels pops, which means the statement derives from studying a phenomenon. Also, this cannot be classified as a hypothesis because a hypothesis is a probable explanation, and it cannot be classified as an experiment because the experiment is the general method to prove or disprove a hypothesis.
