Why is this considered a nonscientific question?

“What color is a great horned owl?”
The question reflects an opinion.
The question addresses a gap in knowledge.
The question does not require testing to answer.
The question asks about phenomena that cannot be measured.

Hello, the most accurate answer would be
C. “The question does not require testing to answer.”
Looking at the other answers, answer C. Makes the most sense regarding the question asked.

Taking a look at scientific questions, they are questions you usually perform a test on to receive an answer. The question “What color is a great horned owl?” does not require testing because it is a self answerable question.
You can look at a picture or see a great horned owl and get a response, you do not need to perform any experiments or tests to verify your answer.
I hope this is correct and that it helps you! :)
