Based on the options provided, the phenomenon most likely being tested during Investigation #1 is:
(D) Wire wrapped around an iron nail attached to the poles of a battery will produce a magnetic force.
This option suggests an investigation into how an electromagnet is created, which is typically tested using a wire (which conducts electricity) wrapped around a ferromagnetic material (like an iron nail) connected to a power source (such as a battery). When the circuit is completed, the electric current flowing through the wire generates a magnetic field, thereby demonstrating the principles of electromagnetism.
