Question 3 Multiple Choice Question
Question
Experiment 1: A student tests whether salt concentration affects radish-seed germination. Four groups of 30 seeds receive equal volumes of solutions containing 0%, 1%, 2%, or 3% salt. All groups use the same seed source, containers, light, and temperature. After seven days, the student records the percentage of seeds that germinated. Which result would best support the hypothesis that increasing salt concentration reduces germination?
