Answer 1

Answer:

C. a dog buries a bone in the backyard

Explanation:

A dog burying a bone in the backyard is not an observation in terms of scientific methods.

Observation is the process of acquiring data about a phenomenon under study.

Most times, senses are used in making observations. Our sense of taste, hearing, sight etc. comes handy when making observation.

Also, we can use some specialized equipment to make observations.

• A dog burying a bone in the backyard is not an observation. None of the senses nor instruments are used to gather any relevant information.
