Kelley Shoemaker · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Research indicates that people are more likely to accept a conclusion as valid if it seems plausible or reasonable to them. Surprising or unlikely conclusions may garner attention or curiosity, but they are not necessarily perceived as more valid. Personal relevance may also be a factor in some cases, but it is not as consistently linked to judgments of validity as plausibility.
