D
Kai decided plants are green because of the chlorophyll used to make food.

Explanation

A scientific observation is something noticed or measured directly, without adding an explanation for why it happened. Mahir noticed that the plants he watered grew taller than the plants that received less water, so C describes an observation. The other choices give explanations or conclusions about causes.
