The correct answer is C. It is not trying to sell a product.
When evaluating the credibility of a source, it is important to consider several factors. While the length and level of detail may be indicators of a well-researched source, they do not necessarily determine credibility. Similarly, a source being from Wikipedia does not automatically make it credible, as Wikipedia can be edited by anyone. Also, the fact that a source is written by someone famous does not automatically guarantee its credibility.
A more reliable assumption for a credible source is that it is not trying to sell a product. Credible sources typically have the goal of providing accurate information, research, or perspectives rather than promoting a particular product or service. They are generally objective, unbiased, and supported by evidence. It is important to critically evaluate any source regardless of these assumptions and consider factors such as author expertise, peer review, and relevant citations.
