Here are a few experimental observations and known facts:

I. A scummy substance often forms in solutions of an amino acid in water.
II. When the water is purified and exposed to UV radiation, the scummy substance does not form in the amino acid solution.
III. UV radiation kills bacteria.

What would be a valid hypothesis based on I, II and III?
  1. The scummy substance is a form of the amino acid.
  2. The scummy substance would not appear if water were treated by a method, other than UV radiation, that kills bacteria
  3. The scummy substance is caused by organisms that humans are unable to detect.
  4. The amino acid would not form the scummy substance in another galaxy
  5. UV light contributes to global warming.
