HELP ME PLEASE!!!!! AND THANK YOU

Answer 1

A states their opinion since they state their "belief" and there's no facts in their statement.
B uses word of the people rather than research and quotes from experts.
C includes emotions and opinions rather than facts and research.
D includes "research findings on childhood obesity" and is therefor the only one using facts.
If you want to support an argument, you have to use facts and no opinions or emotions.
So the answer is D.

Hope this helps! :)
