Answer:

A. Its accuracy can be corroborated.

Step-by-step explanation:

A credible source is a source of information, in which the data is backed up with evidence (supportive information such as charts, graphics, illustrations, etc), and its accuracy can be corroborated (reference lists or documented research). A credible source is usually written by authors with experience in the field, and is written with educational or research purposes.
