Which experimental procedure would provide the best evidence for the effect of light implant growth?

Measure plants of the same variety grown in environments that receive different amounts of light
Measure plants receiving different amounts of light in their natural environments
Plant seeds of the same variety and the same conditions, and only at the amount of light then measure plant growth
Plant seeds in different soils, and expose them to different amounts of light than measure plant growth

Measure plants of the same variety grown in environments that receive different amounts of light. This procedure would directly isolate the effect of light on plant growth by keeping all other variables constant. By comparing plants of the same variety in different light conditions, any differences in growth can be attributed to the amount of light they receive.
