Which sentence correctly states whether a question is scientific, and provides a correct explanation?“Is the lifespan of snowshoe hares, which are white in the winter and brown in the summer, affected by levels of winter snowfall?”

The question asks whether winter snowfall levels affect the lifespan of snowshoe hares, which is a specific relationship that can be investigated by collecting and comparing data. Scientific questions do not have to be tested in a laboratory; field observations can test them too. Therefore, “Yes, because the question is specific” is correct.
