The effectiveness of the panel could be threatened by the following factors:

1. **Mark can't make it to the meetings and has to contribute by telephone** - This could lead to communication issues, reduced participation, and a lack of engagement compared to in-person meetings.

2. **Ted gets mad at the rest of the panel, turns in his diary, and quits the panel** - This could disrupt group dynamics, reduce the diversity of opinions, and diminish the overall effectiveness of the panel's discussions.

Both of these scenarios are more likely to threaten the panel's effectiveness than the fact that the members are different ages or do not know each other outside of the study, which could actually be beneficial in providing varied perspectives.

The responses that could threaten the effectiveness of the panel are:

1. **Mark can't make it to the meetings and has to contribute by telephone.**
2. **Ted gets mad at the rest of the panel, turns in his diary, and quits the panel.**

These two situations can disrupt communication and group dynamics, affecting the overall effectiveness of the panel's discussions.

If you can only choose one response that could threaten the effectiveness of the panel, the best choice would be:

**Ted gets mad at the rest of the panel, turns in his diary, and quits the panel.**

This situation directly affects group dynamics and the composition of the panel, potentially leading to a significant loss of input and collaboration.
