When researching information, the following sources are typically considered reliable:
- **An article in a scientific journal**

- **Government websites like NIH.gov**
The other options (a blog written by an anonymous author, an opinion column in a magazine, and a biology textbook from 1920) are generally less reliable for academic research due to potential biases, lack of authority, or outdated information.
