It would be D. The reason is because you always want to cross-reference your information of multiple, reliable sites to confirm (Or deny) you information. For example, if I googled "Do cats really have nine lives?" The results appear as a study from a college in New York and an article about cats. You can't really trust a random website, as anyone can edit it and make it inaccurate. That means you should just read the study, right? Wrong. You should read both of the pages, and find which parts seem to be in both of them. These parts are likely accurate, because they were on two different sources.
