Answer to Question 1

C
The researcher begins with the premise that a general principle is true (gained from the facts), and then applies that principle to a novel situation (the one that will be experimentally tested) as the second premise, but using deductive logic (if such and such is generally true, then it should be true in this new situation).

Answer to Question 2

D
Although it is possible that your sister's observations MAY provide you with a testable research hypothesis, the other methods listed are tried-and-true for scientists.
