Question

○ experimental
○ comparative

Explanation:

To determine the type of question "What are the differences between a lake and a pond?" is, we analyze each option:

• "Experimental" involves conducting experiments to test hypotheses, which is not the case here as we're not testing but comparing.
• "Comparative" research focuses on comparing two or more entities (here, lake and pond) to identify differences and similarities. This matches the question's goal of finding differences between them.
• "Descriptive" aims to describe a single entity's characteristics, but this question is about comparing two, so it's not descriptive.

Answer:

B. comparative
