Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. The investigation conducting by the research team.
The word "conducting" is incorrect because "conducting" is the wrong verb form.
The conduction of the research is a completed action so "conducted" is the correct word to refer to the same.
The correct form should be "The investigation conducted by the research team" (past participle "conducted" instead of "conducting").
Corrected sentence: The investigation conducted by the research team yielded statistically significant results, providing substantial evidence to support the hypothesis.
