Explanation:

The scientific process involves making observations, forming a hypothesis, conducting experiments, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. In option D, the student is forming a question (how temperature affects plant growth), conducting an experiment (growing plants at different temperatures), which is in line with the scientific process. Option A is just using existing information for planning, option B is relying on tradition, and option C is a debate for practical decision - making, not a scientific investigation.

Answer:

D. A student grows plants using different temperatures to see how temperature affects growth.
