Explanation / Answer

Answer part C. Option 2,3 and 4

Answer part D. A scientific method is a one that can be used by anyone beside a scientist in solving a problem. The important steps of this method are - observing, hypothesis, testing of hypothesis, eliminating the hypothesis if testing gives poor results.

Basing upon this the options 1 and 2 should be selected. Because in the car and the fertiliser case step-by-step approach is followed as the steps of scientific method.

In the mobile case, predicting has been done but no testing, means its not a scientific method.

In Sarah case only observation is done, no hypothesis and further steps are missing thus it is not chosen.
