Answer 1

A

I think it is option A

Answer:

A delay in reporting research

Answer 2

c. Clear specification of the methods and procedures used is essential.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Publishing rigorous scientific research involves a full description of the methods, materials, procedures, and outcomes. Investigators may fail to provide a complete description of how their study was designed and executed because they may not know how to accurately report the information or the mechanisms are not in place to facilitate transparent reporting."
