Scientists use the comparative method for the ultimate goal, which is to create:​

A) ​hypotheses
B) ​theories
C) ​ideas
D) ​evidence

The comparative method is used to create theories. It involves making comparisons between different species, populations, or individuals to infer general principles and develop hypotheses about why certain traits or behaviors have evolved. These hypotheses can then be tested and refined through further research and experimentation, ultimately leading to the development of theories that can explain patterns and processes in biology.
