The correct answer is:

A. all of the above.

Research proposals are typically reviewed by an ethics committee, an institutional review board (IRB), and may also involve a deception and debriefing board if relevant to the study design. Therefore, "all of the above" encompasses the various groups that may review research proposals to ensure ethical standards are met.
