Katrina Lewis · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Experiments allow for control of variables, random assignment of participants, and manipulation of the independent variable. This leads to a better ability to determine causation and eliminates potential confounding variables, resulting in more accurate statistical results. Observational studies, while useful in certain situations, do not have the same level of control and are more prone to bias and confounding factors.
