A student is analyzing the results of a science experiment involving three variables: Temperature (T), Pressure (P), and Catalyst Concentration (C). The experiment was run twice for each variable combination, resulting in an 'Outcome Score'. The goal is to identify the combination of T, P, and C that yields the highest Outcome Score and the lowest Outcome Score. Assuming T can be High or Low, P can be High or Low, and C can be 1 unit or 2 units, how many distinct experimental conditions are possible?

A 6
B 8
C 12
D 16

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

There are 2 options for Temperature (High/Low), 2 options for Pressure (High/Low), and 2 options for Catalyst Concentration (1 unit/2 units). The total number of distinct experimental conditions is 2 * 2 * 2 = 8.
