A farmer is trying to determine why some weeds sprayed with weed killer do not die. To begin a scientific investigation of this issue, what would be the first step for the farmer?

Research what others have already found.

Draw conclusions about the plants in his field.

Begin an experiment with a control group.

Analyze the data collected from the experiment

I believe that the answer is research first... I am not sure between this and Draw a conclusion. Drawing a conclusion is vague... does that traslate into making a hypothesis? C and D are out of question
