Ascientist publishes a paper that states that changes in the levels of gases in the atmosphere of a moon of saturn indicate that there may be extraterrestrial life on that moon. which statement correctly answers whether the question of alien life on this moon is scientific?
the question is not scientific because it cannot be tested without going to the moon of saturn or sending a probe there.
the question is scientific because it deals with astronomy.
the question is not scientific because it involves alien, extraterrestrial life.
the question is scientific because it is testable and verifiable.

The question is scientific because it is testable and verifiable.

Scientists in publishing a paper must have carried out various scientific studies that have gone through various studies that have verified the truth because it is based on valid data

Scientists in conducting research using systematic steps in a scientific method

The scientific method is based on the existence of problems that arise from direct or indirect observations of an object and symptoms (phenomena) that occur that follow it.

Observation of the object will be followed next with the research step to find the cause of the problem that arises

From this research will be obtained numbers or values recorded, measured, carefully recorded and carefully both data qualitatively in the form of general properties on objects such as those observed such as color, texture, etc. or quantitative data in the form of numbers, large, high. volume etc.

From these data, scientists can take information that is used as a temporary conclusion in the form of a hypothesis. Next, several experiments, trials, and errors will be carried out to test this hypothesis until the expected results are in line with the predetermined problem at the outset.

The proven hypothesis will produce a law which is a statement about conditions that can occur in other cases with the same situation.

If this law has been tested from various research other scientists will produce a theory

The space probe itself is a form of exploration of space using robots, which will send data from planetary objects/moons, celestial bodies studied, to earth.

This atmospheric data from Saturn's moon is obtained from  probe data.

Data itself can be in the form of data on rocks, water content, gas composition, or organic material that allows life on Saturn's moon

So the correct answer is the question is scientific because it is testable and verifiable.
