Question

A tobacco company funded Amelia to run experiments and publish a paper. She spent a year completing several experiments to find a way to process tobacco leaves that would be better for health. Amelia conducted controlled experiments, and her results were the same each time. When scientists began conducting peer review, several of them were concerned that the results would be biased.

Which is the most likely a reason why?

Her funding was from a source that could profit from the results.
She did not carry out the experiments for the minimum of 5 years.
Most scientists do not conduct research on tobacco products.
Her results should have shown variation in the outcome.
