B. The information is the quote has already been stated.

The previous sentence says the exact same thing just in a different order - labs must go through a rigorous testing process. The quote should prove the statement correct, not repeat it. A better quote to choose from the source is an explanation of the testing process. This would then prove it's rigor.
