Answer
A
a message board that contains people’s questions about sea life
B
a surfer’s blog that contains daily observations
C
an interactive website about deep-sea fishing
D
an academic journal about the marine environment

Explanation

Scholarly sources are written or reviewed by experts and typically present research or informed analysis. An academic journal about the marine environment is the choice most likely to meet those standards.
