When trying to analyse the results of a scientific experiment, Kevin should base his conclusion on D. the theory that Kevin used to predict what the results would be. The purpose of an experiment on the very beginning is to prove whether or not the theory or hypothetical guess that sprung up in the mind of the experimenter would be false or true. Though it is important to take into consideration the empirical evidences that was collected in other prior experiments, the theories that have been accepted through other experiments, and especially the empirical evidences that is collected during the experiment, the conclusion of the experiment should revolve around the theory that ignited the beginning of the experiment.
