Three of the following are elements of a credible seeding trial. Which is the odd one out?

  • A.verification that the agent actually reached its intended target volume
  • B.selection of the most promising cases after the season
  • C.a physical hypothesis stated clearly in advance
  • D.randomisation of every seeding decision made

Answer: B

Correct answer: selection of the most promising cases after the season

Choosing the cases afterwards is exactly what invalidates a trial: the selection can follow the result, and the effect claimed is then an artefact of the choosing. Randomisation, a hypothesis stated in advance and verification that the agent reached the target are the three elements that make a result credible.
