Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct: Claims of universal cures with no risks indicate lack of credibility.

Other Options:

  • C is incorrect: Plant-based treatment information can be legitimate and evidence-based.
  • D is incorrect: Clear formatting is positive for health communication, not credibility concern.
