Question

A marine scientist concluded that the Canary Islands were not formed by volcanic activity because his data showed that the fault on which the islands lies was inactive during the islands' formation. Another scientist disagrees with his measurements and provides data showing that the fault was active at that time. How does this disagreement contribute to the scientific process?
A. Scientific reliability is increased when the same experiment yields different results.
B. Scientific logic is made more rigorous by conflicting data collected by different groups.
C.Scientific hypotheses are disproved when two scientists come to different conclusions.
D. Scientific claims are strengthened by evaluating different possible arguments.

Answer 1

The answer is either c or d good luck

Answer 2
