Answer 1

The correct answer is D. Credibility.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas violated the credibility of his studies, because he omitted the error which caused a false expected result.

Credibility is that characteristic of certain things that make them credible, we talk about situations, verses or estimates of a certain presence. When we say that we observe the credibility of something we are making a measurement of what is credible and not facing a series of examples in order to make a comparison in this regard.
