Answer

D
“research about academic success of students who play instruments”
E
“most popular instruments that high school students choose to learn”

Explanation

Lani needs searches that connect playing an instrument with academic performance or benefits that could affect it. “Research about academic success of students who play instruments” and “connection between high school test scores and playing an instrument” directly investigate that relationship. “Mental and intellectual benefits of learning to play an instrument” may also reveal research relevant to academic performance. The other searches focus on instrument popularity or general ways to improve grades, not the specific connection Lani is studying.
