A researcher hypothesizes that crocodile gender is determined by the incubation temperature of the egg. The hypothesis states that an average nest temperature of 32-33°C results in the birth of male crocodiles while cooler and higher incubation temperatures result in female crocodiles.Researchers find a group of crocodiles in which an expanded incubation temperature gives rise to male crocodiles. This particular group of crocodiles hatch male crocodiles even with incubation temperatures as low as 29°C. What type of scientific approach has led to this observation?
A. hypothesis testing
B. discovery-based science
