Answer 4

B!
Experiments are rarely a waste of time, even the failed ones. We often learn from failure.
C is just bad science. If you manipulated it, then your hypothesis is not being proven at all. You're just a liar.
D isn't true because experiments *should* be repeated if they fail. Something could have gone wrong. It's important to go back and fix any possible sources of error.
