Answer 2

The correct answer is B. The scientists and all test subjects involved in the investigation work for the company that sells the medication.

Explanation:

In science, a medication, product or similar is only considered as reliable if it has been tested following the scientific method and if there are not interests that can affect the process or the result. This commonly implies, using the medication in a test group and compare the results to a control group that does not use medication, prove there was a positive effect on the test group people from the control group did not have and also  being able to replicate the study which means this can be applied with more groups and the results would be consistent. However, that scientist and test subjects work for the company that sells the medication is not a factor that contributes to reliability and indeed is a warning sign because due to their interest in selling the medication they can alter or influence testing to sell the medication and therefore this is not reliable.
