Answer 1

the answer
is A The biographer might not have access to the subject’s personal records.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A.

Unauthorized biographies are usually written without the cooperation of the subject. The author makes his own research and interviews other people, but not necessarily has access to the subject's personal records. Moreover, some writers face legal complains because of the publication when the subject feels his image and reputation have been damaged in any way.
