Explanation: Promotion of specific poltical views can lead to biased or skewed interpretations of various topics, so it may be harmful for users that do not know there is a bias. (A.) would risk user distrust for already biased information, so it would be wrong. (B.) May risk exposing your AI model, but the public will trust you more and have a lower risk of any incidents. (C.) Is a good mix of public trust and trade protection. (D.) is like (C.) but with an extra layer of protection. A good look will show us that (A.) is the only bad answer, so it should be (B.), (C.), and (D.)
