Answer 1

The characteristic of a scientific practice among the options you provided is: It uses logic and reasoning.

Scientific practices involve critical thinking, logical reasoning, and the use of evidence to form conclusions and hypotheses. Sharing only supporting evidence, making large and unrealistic claims, and avoiding criticisms are not characteristics of sound scientific practices. In fact, good scientific practice encourages the consideration of all evidence, including contradictory evidence, and invites scrutiny and criticism to strengthen conclusions.
