Read the passage below. It summarizes survey information. The Global Youth Tobacco Survey asks youth to fill in the answers to several questions about their tobacco use. In this survey conducted between 2000 and 2007, it was found that in youth ages 13-15, 12 percent of boys and 7 percent of girls reported smoking cigarettes. This information was shared and reported on the American Cancer Society website. The information was then used by several industries in the fields of health care, insurance, and education. What is a reason that these data may be unreliable? It is information that is too old to be considered factual. It was found on the American Cancer Society website, and websites are unreliable. It is information that is used for a variety of purposes and not just gathered for research. It is from a self-reporting survey, and teens may not want to answer the questions honestly.

    A) - no information is " too old to be considered factual". It's just what it is - old. We have to take into account that it is no longer up-to-date

    Well, there are different kinds of websites, and I don't know about this one, but some are really reliable. There are also online journals; and those are reliable! so I don't think option b)

    c) this seems to be gathered for reseerch actually

    d) I think this is the best option. I don't think that teens would reliably and honestly answer questions about an fobidden activity, even in a confidential setting!
