What is the depth and breadth of the information?

Who created the website, and what are the author's credentials?

When was the site created, and when was it last updated?
D
Does the site include links, and do all of the links work?

Explanation

A website’s authority depends on who is responsible for its information and whether that person or organization has relevant expertise. Asking who created the website and what the author’s credentials are helps establish that authority. The other choices concern the information’s coverage, how current it is, or whether its links work.
