B

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
To avoid the risk of forced disclosure of sensitive information (e.g., through a court order), researchers in the United States can apply for a Certificate of Confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The certificate allows researchers to refuse to disclose information on study participants in any civil, criminal, administrative, or legislative proceeding.
