Answer: option D. A study of the different amounts of time it takes water to evaporate completely.

Because you have to record measures of times and of the quantity of water, and you have to look for the correlations of those numbers. This is you are using numbers, not just characteristics, which is the case of the other three experiments (fading of colors, colors, and shapes)
