Answer
A
asking about subjective matters
B
having a wide focus on many topics
C
addressing a gap in knowledge
D
possibly leading to a testable hypothesis
E
already having fully confirmed explanations

Explanation

A scientific question should address something that is not yet understood, so it helps fill a gap in knowledge. It may also lead to a testable hypothesis that can be investigated with evidence. Subjective matters, an overly broad focus, or an explanation that is already fully confirmed do not define a scientific question.
