Justine is a chemist working for a flavor supply company. The company claims that their flavors are all-natural. Justine developed the formula in her lab, making 12 new natural flavors to replace processed flavors. She made sure that every aspect was controlled. She repeated her experiment several times to make sure the formula was correct.
Answer
A
It is invalid and was only used to sell flavor.
B
It is valid because it is backed by scientific evidence.
C
It is valid because it was made by the flavor company.
D
It is invalid because Justine is a chemist and not a food scientist.
Explanation
Justine controlled the conditions of her experiment and repeated it several times, which makes her results more reliable. Those steps provide scientific evidence for the formula, so the best choice is “It is valid because it is backed by scientific evidence.” The company’s claim alone would not establish validity, and being a chemist does not automatically invalidate her work.
