Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

One should look for studies that are published in reputable scientific or medical journals. A large epidemiological study could be convincing if enough subjects were studied and the goal of the study was clearly stated and addressed. It would be convincing to see a link between BPA in packaging and the increase of obesity being upheld by many different investigators who have published in reputable journals.
