C

D
A strong research question goes beyond common knowledge, inspires curiosity, and can be discussed in several paragraphs.

Explanation

A strong research question should go beyond facts most people already know, so researching it can teach readers something new. It should also inspire curiosity and be broad enough to explore in several paragraphs. It should not be limited to a simple “yes” or “no” answer, which is why choice D is best.
