Logan Keller · Answer 2

The correct answer is option D. "They come from government, University, or nonprofit organization".

Explanation:

Digital sources are commonly used to cite information in articles, however before using them is important to check if they are reliable. A common characteristic of reputable digital sources of information is that they come from government, university, or nonprofit organization. Webpages that are from the government (. gov), universities (. edu) or non-profit organizations, use information that comes from books, scientific articles and other reliable sources. Therefore, the information in these webpages could be used and cited as reputable digital sources.
