Answer

It can be answered through an investigation.
B
It has a simple yes or no answer.
C
It has a wide focus.
D
It leads to an untestable hypothesis.

Explanation

A scientific question can be answered by gathering evidence and making observations or measurements. The Great Lakes can be compared by measuring their surface areas or volumes to determine which is largest, so this question can be investigated. It does not need to have a yes-or-no answer; that is not what makes it scientific.
