Rosemary Ware · Answer 1

A. Scientific evidence is peer-reviewed

Explanation:

Peer-reviewed or in other words, refereed ensures that articles written by experts are reviewed by many other experts in the same field of knowledge before the article may be published in the journal in order to validate the article's quality. Goodstein explains that this could bring a higher likelihood of more scientifically valid and therefore reasonable conclusions of scientific articles or findings.
