Correct answer: A credible source strengthens and supports an author’s claims.

Why: Credible sources are trustworthy, accurate, and reliable, so citing them makes an author’s arguments more convincing and defensible. The other choices are incorrect because credibility isn’t about popularity, entertainment value, or directly increasing audience size.
