A skateboard manufacturing company has had problems with the wheels on its skateboards cracking and causing injuries. An engineer for the company knows of a material that he thinks will make the skateboards safer. What would be the best step for the engineer to take next?

He should publish a report about the innovation and its impact on public safety.
He should conduct tests using computer models to determine the safety impact.
He should immediately begin producing all skateboards with the new material.
He should convert production of half of the skateboards to use the new material.

Answer:

Option B, He should conduct tests using computer models to determine the safety impact.

Step-by-step explanation:

The better performance of material proposed by engineer will be treated as a claim without any proof, if the production of the stake board starts without testing it.

In order to verify his/her statement, the engineer needs to conduct durability and strength test on stake board having the “proposed material” in its structure.

After the test results are obtained, they must be vetted through publication as research paper.

Hence, option B is correct
