Explanation:

The hypothesis focuses on the effect of soil chemistry on radish - seed germination. Option A directly relates to testing this by determining the germination percentage in soils of different chemistry. Option B does not focus on soil chemistry, Option C is about the rate of seeds being eaten, and Option D is about comparing radish sizes in different locations.

Answer:

A. To determine the percentage of radish seeds that germinate in soils of different chemistry.
