Bruce Mcdaniel · Answer 1

The answer is: D) Not human subjects

Explanation:

Her research project is about junk food availability, and that doesn't include research with human beings. The research should be classified as Not Human Subject since it doesn't involve any living individual.

Research done on humans are classified as:

Exempt from review: if it involves very minimal or no risk for human participants. Expedited review: if it doesn't classify as exempt review but it involves no more than minimal risk to the participants and meets other standards, such as not including protected classes or vulnerable populations, and not using intentional deception. Full board review: If it doesn't classify as exempt from review or expedited review.
