Answer

B

C
What are the best shoes to wear when exercising?
D
What causes some people to be color-blind?

Explanation

A scientific question can be investigated by gathering evidence and testing explanations. Researchers can study the biology and genetics that cause color blindness, so “What causes some people to be color-blind?” is scientifically testable. The other choices ask for personal preferences or moral judgments rather than a question that can be answered through scientific evidence.
