Respuesta :

Answer:

A- observation

B- hypothesis

C,D,E- experiment

F- conclusion

Explanation:

Lucia has just carried out the scientific process. An observation refers to paying close attention to a particular phenomenon in nature. This leads to the proposition of an intelligent guess about the observed phenomenon. This intelligent guess is called a hypothesis.

The hypothesis now guides the design of an experiment designed to confirm or disprove the hypothesis. The results of the experiment now leads to the formulation of a conclusion as Lucia has just done.
