d. they will both refuse to look at each other’s data or conclusions.

Explanation:

In scientific practice, disagreements are typically resolved through empirical evidence. Scientists would seek additional data to test their hypotheses about which grocery bag is better for the environment, rather than losing interest, entering politics, or ignoring each other’s work. This aligns with the scientific method’s reliance on data to resolve uncertainties.

C. They will each continue to look for more data on the issue.
