Answer
A
a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration article discussing Pacific bluefin tuna population numbers
B
a high school student’s blog discussing sources of biofuel
C
an advertisement for a protein drink in Exercise magazine
D
a study describing clinical trials of a new medication in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
E
an entry about the mating habits of snow leopards that can be edited by the general public

Explanation

The NOAA article is from a government science agency, making it a reliable source for tuna population information. The clinical-trial study in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a scientific research source. A student blog may not be checked for accuracy, an advertisement is designed to sell a product, and an entry open to editing by the general public may not be reliably reviewed.
