At the end of an investigation, a student writes, Seeds at the hottest temperature died. However, at the slightly warm temperatures, seeds grew bigger and faster. Therefore, some heat increases growth, but too much kills the plant. What part of scientific investigation is this? A. question and experiment B. Hypothesis and observation C. evaluation and critique D. evidence and logical reasoning

You are testing the hypothesis that increased population density of a particular plant species increases the rate at which a pathogenic fungus infects the plant. Because the fungus causes visible scars on the leaves, you can easily determine whether a plant is infected. Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. Describe your experimental and control groups, how you would collect data, and what results you would see if your hypothesis is correct.
