A group of scientists recently proposed the idea that beets should replace salt for melting winter ice. The scientists pointed out that because beets grow underground, they continue to grow in freezing conditions. Thus, they hypothesized, an extract of beet roots could melt ice on roads in winter. Make a prediction.

Extract of beet roots has the capacity to melt ice

Explanation:

A prediction in research is a tentative statement that can be proven or disproven using an experiment. Predictions are otherwise referred to as hypotheses.

In the illustration, the prediction would be that the extract of beet roots has the ability to melt ice. After the experiment, the prediction would either be proven right or otherwise.

i believe the answer is a or 1

thinking it would be d not too sure but i think it's right
