Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option D: Alternative
Concept: Contextual Vocabulary & Sentence Completion.

Solution: "Alternative" treatments is the correct choice. The NIH guidelines stipulate that gene manipulation is only justified when other existing or alternative therapeutic options are unsatisfactory.

Why other options are incorrect:
  • Option A (Similar): Illogical in ethical context.
  • Option B (Most): Grammatically and semantically incorrect.
  • Option C (Dangerous): Dangerous treatments are avoided, not used as criteria.
