If a source is "credible," it is ...

• A. Untrustworthy
• B. Believable and Trustworthy
• C. Biased
• D. Unverifiable

Answer: (B)

Credibility means a source can be believed and trusted. A credible source backs its claims with evidence, shows the author’s qualifications, and cites sources so readers can verify what’s being said. When a source is credible, it is believable and trustworthy, because there’s good reason to rely on its information. The other descriptions don’t fit as well: untrustworthy is the opposite of credible; biased refers to partiality that doesn’t by itself make something unreliable, and unverifiable means you can’t check the information, which undermines credibility.
