The current revision date and URAC accreditation seal indicate that the website meets quality standards and has been reviewed by an independent organization. This increases the likelihood that the information provided on the website is accurate and trustworthy. Choice A is not necessarily appropriate as technical language and comprehensive chemical diagrams may be too complex for some clients. Choice C is potentially biased as the pharmaceutical company may have a vested interest in promoting its own product. Choice D does not provide specific information about smoking cessation and may not be useful for the client.
