A scientist performed an experiment to test her hypothesis that a disease in horses was caused by a deficiency in an important m
ineral. The results did not support her hypothesis. However, some of her data showed an important change in one hormone. The scientist knew that the hormone was related to a different mineral, so she formed a new hypothesis. What is the most logical step for the scientist to take next? A) Design an experiment to test the new hypothesis.
B) Pose a new question to be answered.

I think the answer is A) design an experiment to test the new hypothesis. The experiment taken has proved the old hypothesis is not correct but find a new possible hypothesis. So to confirm, she need to perform a new experiment to test this.
