Explanation:

Question 6

Scientific theories are developed through systematic processes. Guessing (a), one - experiment observation (b), and rejecting evidence (c) are not valid. Extensive observation, experimentation, and reasoning (d) align with the scientific method.

Scientific laws describe consistent, universal relationships (e.g., Newton's laws). They don't predict details (a), are not testable hypotheses (c), and don't explain why (that's theories), so (b) is correct.

Data integrity means data is accurate and unmanipulated. Avoiding controls (a), single - experiment data (b), and ignoring peer review (c) are not data integrity challenges. Preventing manipulation under pressure (d) is a key challenge.

Answer:

d. Through extensive observation, experimentation, and reasoning
