SOS:

The answer is The Encyclopedia Britannica!

"General encyclopedias. Since general encyclopedias contain brief summaries of information, they are useful as a starting point in the library. They are best used to give an overview of a subject. More specialized encyclopedias—such as art, architecture, and mythology—may also be helpful."

Hope this helps!

The correct answer among the choices provided is the third option. The most appropriate for gaining information for a research paper on a complex process is the Encyclopedia Britannica. It is a general knowledge English-language encyclopedia. It is also the oldest English-language encyclopedia that is still produced up to now.
