Investigation: runoff. Evidence: Water poured on packed clay ran across the surface; water poured on loose soil soaked in more quickly. Which explanation connects the evidence to a science idea?
A
The opposite claim is correct, but no observation supports it.
B
Packed clay produced more runoff. Evidence is that more water ran across its surface; tightly packed particles leave less space for water to soak in.
C
The claim is true because it sounds right, even without evidence.
D
The evidence should be ignored because science explanations do not need data.
