b liter
c pint
d quart

Explanation:

Question 1

To determine why chemistry is testable, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Chemistry uses experiments to measure data, which allows testing hypotheses.
• Option b: Chemistry can add new evidence through research, so this is incorrect.
• Option c: Chemistry can be verified via experiments, so this is wrong.
• Option d: Science (including chemistry) aims to be unbiased, so this is incorrect.

Science answers questions testable by empirical methods:

• Option a: The relationship between light and fruit ripening can be tested experimentally (e.g., controlled light exposure, measuring ripening).
• Option b: "Justifiable" involves ethics/values, not science.
• Option c: "Soul - stirring experience" is subjective/philosophical, not scientific.
• Option d: "Right to edit DNA" is an ethical/legal question, not scientific.

We identify metric system volume units:

• Option a: Gallon is an imperial/US customary unit, not metric.
• Option b: Liter is a standard metric unit for volume.
• Option c: Pint is imperial/US customary, not metric.
• Option d: Quart is imperial/US customary, not metric.

Answer:

a. It can measure data by experiments.
