The correct answer is A. reliable.
The writer was 'an authoritative source' because of her degrees, guest appearances, etc. Thus, she was a source you could rely on, she was reliable, given that she had experience to back her ideas up. Therefore A is the only correct answer.

For the purpose of remembering to utilize it in his cross-examination, the prosecuting attorney made a note in reference to the
k0ka [10]

A) The prosecuting attorney made a note about the defendant's anger when speaking about the victim, so he could utilize it in his cross-examination.

This is best revises the original sentence for wordiness. The words eliminated are "For the purpose of remembering to". Taking out these prepositional phrases focuses the dependent clause on the verb utilize rather than the actions of remembering and purpose. This helps to eliminate confusion or distractions for the reader. One way to help eliminate answers is that option D does not really make any changes. Option B and C are the same except for the placement of the dependent clause. Moving the dependent clause does not actually change the wordiness of the sentence.
