Question

which of these would best describe the difference between an experiment and a field study? a experiments are much more important to science than field studies. b in a field study, it is much harder to control variables than in an experiment. c in a field study, it is easier to control the variables than in an experiment. d experiments are always done by professional scientists, while field experiments can be done by anyone.

Explanation:

In an experiment, researchers can control variables precisely in a controlled - environment setting. In a field study, which occurs in a natural or real - world setting, it is much more difficult to control variables due to the complexity and variability of the real - world environment. Option A is incorrect as both are important in science. Option C is contrary to the fact. Option D is wrong as both can be done by professionals and non - professionals under proper conditions.

Answer:

B. In a field study, it is much harder to control variables than in an experiment.
