Question

A student is testing the effect of different water temperatures on the germination rate of bean seeds. She uses three groups: one group is watered with cold water (5°C), another with room-temperature water (20°C), and the third with warm water (35°C). She ensures that all the seeds receive the same amount of water, are planted in the same type of soil, and are placed in the same environment.

Which of the following would be a reasonable hypothesis for the experiment on water temperature and seed germination?

Options

"All bean seeds will germinate at the same rate regardless of water temperature."

"The germination rate of bean seeds will be highest when watered with room-temperature water."

"Bean seeds will not germinate if they are planted in soil."

"Germination depends only on the amount of sunlight the seeds receive."
