D) check the author's credentials and look for factual reporting.
Why: a qualified source will list credentials/affiliation and provide verifiable evidence (data, citations, links, primary sources). To be safe also corroborate the claim across multiple reputable outlets, check the publication and date, watch for bias or sensational language, and consult independent fact‑checkers. Options A, B, and C are unreliable.
