Shaun Neal · Answer 1

The correct answer is that it must be based on scientific observations that can be repeated in a controlled setting.

This controlled setting, which replicates the real world encounters is known as scientific experiments. Experiments permit for a smaller scale world where the results can be determined with the manipulation of specific elements in the controlled setting. Experiments assists in the understanding of the natural world.
