Read this excerpt from "One Flu over the Cuckoo's Nest."

Scientists debated creating a killer virus to study in the lab. In 2005, the Centers for Disease Control proposed deliberately combining a deadly bird flu virus with a very contagious human flu virus to understand whether and how it might cause a worldwide outbreak, or "pandemic.” Scientists said the lab experiments would help them understand what might already be happening naturally. . . .

But other people thought such research was a terrible idea. What if these viruses escaped the lab by mistake? What if a government or terrorist organization wanted to use the viruses against their enemies?

In 2013, two research groups outside the United States went ahead and conducted their own experiments. One group, led by Ron Fouchier of Erasmus University in the Netherlands, showed that the highly lethal mixed up flu virus could infect and kill ferrets. A few months later, a Chinese group led by Chen Hualan at China’s Harbin Veterinary Research Institute showed the recombined virus could infect and kill guinea pigs. Both groups ran their studies before a worldwide ban on this type of research was put into place in 2012.

One of the main ideas presented in this passage is the controversy over whether or not flu research is safe. What do these paragraphs suggest about the safety of such research?

A worldwide ban on dangerous flu research was put into place in 2012, so the threat of people using flu viruses to attack others no longer exists.
Since all of the information that could be learned from such research has already been discovered, scientists no longer need to create new flu viruses, and therefore the controversy is over.
Although none of the deadly flu viruses made for research have been used by dangerous people, since that possibility still exists, the ban on the research might be important.
The research has already resulted in the deaths of animals, so people who once thought creating and researching new flu viruses was important are no longer supporting it.

Answer:

d   a government or terrorist organization wanted to use the viruses

Explanation:got it right on 2021 edg

The paragraph that suggests the safety of doing the research is that the research caused the deaths of animals, so people who thought about creating and researching new flu viruses are no longer allowed.

Option D is the correct answer.

The flu virus is a disease caused by a virus named influenza virus.

Research about the flu virus was banned in the year 2012. It led to the death of many animals and guinea pigs are one of them. The people who thought about formulating and doing research about the virus are not allowed to do that.

Therefore, the paragraph mentioned in part D suggested the safety of doing research.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming.
