The scientist's statement that "the more light a plant receives, the larger it will grow" is best described as **D: the statement is a scientific hypothesis.**
A hypothesis is a testable prediction or explanation for a phenomenon, which can be investigated through experimentation and observation. In this case, the statement proposes a relationship between light exposure and plant growth that can be tested scientifically.
