Question 3 • Biology

Which question is a nonscientific question?

Answer
A
Does the color of a rose affect how long it blooms?
B
Will a rose plant bloom faster if it is fertilized?
C
Do rose plants grow faster in higher temperatures?
D
Why are roses the best flowers?

Explanation

A scientific question can be investigated through observations or experiments. The questions about rose color, fertilizer, and temperature can be tested by measuring how long or how quickly roses bloom. Asking why roses are “the best” is a matter of opinion rather than a question that can be answered scientifically, so choice D is nonscientific.
