Answer
A
an article discussing mineral resources written by the United States Geological Survey
B
a blog discussing sources of alternate energy written by a high school student
C
an advertisement for guided hikes and tours in Camping magazine
D
a study describing clinical trials of a new medication in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
E
an entry about common uses of metals in an encyclopedia that can be edited by the general public

Explanation

The U.S. Geological Survey is a scientific government agency, so its article on mineral resources is a trustworthy source. A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is also a scholarly source and is more reliable for clinical-trial information than a student blog, an advertisement, or an encyclopedia entry that anyone can edit.
