Observations are statements that are based on measurable, factual information and can be verified. Below are the statements that qualify as observations:

  1. Last year there were 114 elephants in the region.
  2. The water source pond has dried up.
  3. There are 112 elephants in this region.
  4. Plant density is 100 individuals per square meter.

The first two options about the drought and poachers are interpretations or hypotheses, not direct observations.
