Answer:
D. altering it to fit within the hypothesis
Explanation:
An experiment is carried out to fill an inquisition i.e. to answer a question. According to the scientific method, prior to experimentation, there must be a HYPOTHESIS. The hypothesis is tested for rejection or approval via experimentation.
After the experiment has been conducted, several things can be done with the data obtained. For example:
- Data can be interpreted
- the data can be plotted in a graph to find correlations
- It can be analyzed it with statistical analysis.
One thing that should never be done is; altering the data from experimentation to fit in the hypothesis.
