  • C. Accumulated data - New data - Observation & experimentation - Hypothesis -> Conclusion
  • D. Accumulated data -> Hypothesis -> Observation & experimentation -> New data -> Conclusion

A scientific investigation generally begins with accumulated observations or data, followed by a hypothesis. The hypothesis is tested through observation and experimentation, which produce new data before a conclusion is drawn. Option a is tempting because it includes the same steps, but it places the hypothesis after experimentation.
