The correct answer is B. Measurable

Step-by-step explanation:

The use of science to investigate a phenomenon implies using measurements and observations to better understand a phenomenon or test a hypothesis. Moreover, science focuses on natural phenomena that can be objectively studied through measurement instruments such as a thermometer, balance, hydrometer, etc.

In this context, for a phenomenon to be studied by science this needs to be measurable because the use of precise instruments as wells as numbers allow scientist to analyze and understand a phenomenon. Moreover, phenomena that depend on personal perspectives and cannot be measure is considered as non-scientific.
