Question

Answer the question based on the given information.
After thousands of miles of use, the tread on many bike tires wears down. One common theory about why tires wear down contends that the perpetual friction and heat generated by the contact between the tire and pavement erode the material on the surface of the tire. However, a local scientist who is also an avid cyclist proposed a new theory for why bike tires wear down. This scientist contended that chemicals from the road's composition and chemicals from rain residue wore down the surface of the tire.
Which of the following would best evaluate the veracity of the scientist's proposed theory?
Select one:
a. Ride a road bike aggressively through spring rain storms.
b. Determine the number of miles that a bike tire can be used on a wet road before wearing down.
c. Ascertain whether the bike's frame is made of rust-resistant components.
d. Ascertain whether chemicals from the road's composition also reside within the bike's frame.
e. Place chemicals from rain water and pavement on a bike's idle tires.​
