Answer

Which state grows the most potatoes?
B

C
Which is a better pet, a dog or a cat?
D
What are the most important issues facing young people today?
E

Explanation
Appropriate research questions ask for information that can be answered with facts or evidence. The state that grows the most potatoes, the average cost of a three-bedroom house, and India’s population are all measurable or verifiable facts. Asking which pet is “better” is subjective, and asking for the “most important” issues invites broad opinions rather than a specific factual answer.
