Experimentation is the best way to obtain knowledge, because it is the only actual factual thing in the options

The correct answer is option E, that is, there are no living things on the moon.  

Scientific knowledge is created via experimentation and methodical observation on measurable objective variables. Scientific knowledge is supported on evidence. The statement, that is, there are no living things on the moon, is a fact based on various scientific evidence. It is not based on personal beliefs, however, in direct observation of proof. Thus, it is the true sentence regarding a scientific statement.  

The other statements exhibit no supporting evidence, thus, one cannot consider them as scientific.
