Option C, a testable prediction leading to design of an experiment

Explanation:

The statement here predicts the outcomes of raising tadpoples is water with atrazine levels of 0.1 ppb as compared to the ones raised in pure water. Hence, it cannot be question. Now since this prediction can be tested, an experiment can be designed where a certain number of tadpoles can be raised in pure water and the same number of tadpoles can be raised in water with 0.1ppb of atrazine level. The difference in two populations can be then compared to either support the prediction or contradict it.

Hence, option C is correct
