To test the hypothesis that increased sunlight will accelerate the growth of an avocado tree, the student should:

Compare the growth rates of avocado trees exposed to varying amounts of sunlight over several weeks.

This approach allows for a controlled experiment where different groups of avocado trees receive different amounts of sunlight, and their growth can be measured over time to determine any differences in growth rates resulting from varying sunlight exposure.
