Answer 1

Answer:

Option B, Get the results approved by government agencies

Explanation:

The findings of the student can be verified by someone who has already conducted research or studies in the same field earlier. Since a government agency would have carried out a sincere study and their findings would be more accurate as compared to any of the secondary sources, newspaper or magazine publication, it would be advisable to get the results verified by some government agency.
