d. The biographer can have access to the subject's personal records.

Answer 1

d. The biographer can have access to the subject's personal records.

Step-by-step explanation:

A biography can be either authorized or unauthorized.

An authorized biography means that the biographer had the cooperation of either the subject or the subject’s living representatives when the biography was researched and written. The biographer usually has full access to the subject's personal records. It means that the subject or the subject’s representatives read and approved the final work. The people involved in giving authorization might have asked that certain information be left out. This can affect the reliability of the biography.

An unauthorized biography is usually written without the support or approval of the subject or the subject’s representatives. The biographer may or may not have full access to the subject's personal records.
