A researcher is conducting an experiment to determine the effects of different amounts of sunlight and water on the growth of tulips. The growth of the tulip can be categorized with a rating from 1-10 (1 = no growth, 10 = outstanding growth). There are 1,000 tulips to be analyzed and each is identified with a number from 1 to 1,000. There is no requirement about how the experimental data is collected. Once the data is collected, the information needs to be analyzed and published within one day to meet a publication deadline.
Which is the BEST approach for collecting and storing this data, in preparation for generating a published report?
A. Store the sunlight and water data for each individual tulip into separate text files. Take an individual photo of each tulip to show the growth of the tulip. All of these files will include the tulip number in the name of the file.
B. Store the tulip number, sunlight amount, and water amount for each tulip in a single row in a spreadsheet. Take an individual photo of each tulip to show the growth of the tulip. Each image file will include the tulip number in the name of the file.
C. Store the tulip number, sunlight amount, water amount, and growth rating for each tulip in its own row in a spreadsheet.
D. Take an individual photo of each tulip to show the growth of the tulip. Store the tulip number, sunlight amount, water amount, and a link to the tulip image in a single row in a spreadsheet.
