The scientific method involves
A
discovering natural laws that govern the universe.
B
applying general principles to scientific problems.
C
relying on authority to explain scientific ideas.
D
using observation, experiments, and careful reasoning.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The scientific method is the process of objectively establishing facts through testing and experimentation. The basic process involves making an observation, forming a hypothesis, making a prediction, conducting an experiment and finally analyzing the results.

Detailed explanation-2: -Observation is essential in science. Scientists use observation to collect and record data, which enables them to construct and then test hypotheses and theories. Scientists observe in many ways – with their own senses or with tools such as microscopes, scanners or transmitters to extend their vision or hearing.

Detailed explanation-3: -1: Scientific Reasoning: Scientists use two types of reasoning, inductive and deductive, to advance scientific knowledge. Inductive reasoning is a form of logical thinking that uses related observations to arrive at a general conclusion. This type of reasoning is common in descriptive science.

Detailed explanation-4: -In addition to careful observation, then, scientific method requires a logic as a system of reasoning for properly arranging, but also inferring beyond, what is known by observation. Methods of reasoning may include induction, prediction, or analogy, among others.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The scientific term for information collected from observations is empirical evidence. Collecting this empirical evidence is one of the most important skills that a scientist can have and is key to the proper use of the scientific method.

Detailed explanation-6: -The scientific method is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations and answer questions. The aim is to discover cause and effect relationships by asking questions, carefully gathering and examining the evidence.
