C) The source is probably valid because the information is interesting.
D)The source is probably not valid because it discusses other diseases.

Answer 1

A)The source is probably not valid because the author is unknown.
Step-by-step explanationThis would be the answer because a forum is an area where users share their opinions on a particular topic and using forum for a research assignment would give you incorrect information. Also, without knowing the author you cannot be certain that the post is valid to use on the research assignment.

Answer 2

A) The source is probably not valid because it is based on an opinion.

He or she that wrote it did not go into a lab and see if the resources are true its just based on what he thinks it is.
