The answer is: A) Yes, because the question is specific.

The scientific method is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations (in this example color of snowshoe hares).

Steps of the scientific method:

1) ask a question about something that is observed.

2) do background research.

3) construct a hypothesis, an attempt to answer questions with an explanation that can be tested.

4) test of hypothesis.

5) analyze collected data and draw a conclusion.

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.

Dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment, in this example lifespan of snowshoe hares.

Dependent variables depend on the values of independent variables. The dependent variables represent the output or outcome whose variation is being studied.
