A
developing a technique for observing an object that has yet to be observed
B
creating an attractive cover picture for a laboratory report
C
explaining why a hypothesis is supported despite data showing otherwise
D
manipulating data to achieve a desired result

Explanation

Scientific inquiry can require creative thinking to find new ways to investigate questions. Developing a technique to observe an object that has not yet been observed helps scientists gather new evidence. Making a report cover attractive is unrelated to inquiry, while dismissing contrary data or manipulating data undermines scientific integrity.
