Which is characteristic of reliable experimental results?
o
a. the data were collected from an experiment that was designed to
prove one scientist's hypothesis.
o
b. the data were reproduced by other scientists using the same
experimental methods.
o
c. the data were produced by a single experiment, so the scientist
only had to follow the scientific method once.
o
d. the data support a conclusion that the scientist reached using
logic and critical thinking.

B. The data were reproduced by other scientists using the same experimental methods.  

Explanation:

One of the features of reliable experimental results is their reproducibility — other scientists must be able to produce them.  

A. is wrong. An experiment that is designed to prove a hypothesis is biased.

C. is wrong. A conclusion based on a single experiment is suggestive but not conclusive. It takes a number of experiments to provide a strong statistical relation between the variables.

D. is wrong.  The data may support a conclusion that the they reached using logic and critical thinking, but there may still be a flaw in the thinking, which other scientists can point out.  

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
