Pedro is submitting an article to be peer reviewed. He is a biologist who found new evidence of climate change.Which would be the best group to review the paper?

Answer
A
biologists at the Environmental Protection Agency
B
physics instructors at a major university
C
chemists at the World Health Organization
D
a business that makes solar panels

Explanation

Peer reviewers should have expertise in the subject of the paper and be able to assess its evidence. Biologists at the Environmental Protection Agency are the best match because the article concerns biological evidence of climate change. Physics instructors, chemists, and a solar-panel business are less directly suited to review that research.
