Astudent notices that when bananas are kept near other fruits, the other fruits ripen faster. she wonders what causes the other fruits to ripen more quickly and thinks that bananas must have an influence on the ripening process. she decides to perform an experiment. she gathers bananas and apples and places an apple by itself at location a and an apple next to a banana at location b. she then waits for five days and records the how ripe each apple is.

what would be the next step in this experiment?

D. analyze the results and make a conclusion

Explanation:

According to the question above, we can see that the student did an experiment based on the steps defended by the scientific method. So, she made an observation, when she realized that when fruits were placed near bananas, they ripened faster. According to this observation, the student created a hypothesis that was "do bananas influence the ripening of other fruits?"

To test this hypothesis, the student set up an experiment, denoting an apple near bananas and another apple away from bananas. After a few days, she recorded the data on what this experiment resulted. Now that she has this data, she can analyze it, getting an answer to her hypothesis and drawing a conclusion about the influence of bananas on fruit ripening.
