Answer
A
the Environmental Protection Agency
B
the United States House of Representatives
C
the A-Plus Plastics Manufacturing Company
D
the Cambridge University Environmental Sciences Department

Explanation

A source funded by a group with a financial interest in the topic may present information in a way that benefits that group. A-Plus Plastics Manufacturing Company could benefit from policies that affect pollution regulations, so its funding is the strongest reason to question possible bias.
