Among the options you've provided, the least trustworthy website would likely be the one that "has photographs and a copyright date of 1997."

Here’s a brief explanation for each option:

  1. Author’s name and current year - This is a positive indicator of credibility, suggesting that the content is recent and attributed to a specific person.
  2. In-depth information with a .gov URL - Government websites generally provide reliable information and the .gov domain is a strong indicator of trustworthiness.
  3. Photographs with a copyright date of 1997 - A copyright date from 1997 suggests that the content may be outdated, which can affect its relevance and accuracy.
  4. Company logo and results of independent research - While not definitive, a company logo can indicate a professional appearance, and independent research suggests credible information.

The 1997 copyright indicates that the information may not be current, decreasing its reliability compared to the other options.
