Over the period of a few days, a hospital receives an overwhelming increase in the number of patients with food poisoning. How would a scientist respond to this increase in sick patients?

Hey there!

A scientist would try to determine the cause of the food poisoning, and see if the people who got poisoned had anything in common, for example: they ate at the same restaurant, they are all people of a certain age, etc.

Let me know if this helps :)

i believe the answer is a.
