B) In the field study, it is much harder to control variables than in an experiment. C) in the field study, it is easier to control the variables than in an experiment. D) Experiments are always done by professional scientist while field experiments can be done by anyone

Answer 1

Answer:

B) In the field study, it is much harder to control variables than in an experiment

Explanation:

Field study and laboratory experiments are both employed by scientists in discovering answers to investigations. However, while field studies are conducted in a natural or real world scenario, experiments are carried out in the confines of a laboratory.

One major difference between an experiment and field study is that IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL VARIABLES IN A FIELD STUDY THAN IN AN EXPERIMENT. Experimental Research usually occurs under strict controlled conditions where only one variable is being tested at a time and the other controlled. However, in a field study, it becomes difficult to have only one variable being tested as several variables come to play.
