Baylee Plaza · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The question suggests that both the skills and motivation of the interviewer and the natural limitations of the child's memory play a role in the reliability of Mallory's reports. Option B reflects this idea by stating that the reliability has as much to do with the skills and motivation of the interviewer as with the natural limitations of the child's memory. Option A incorrectly suggests that the child's honesty is a factor, which is not mentioned in the question, and option C incorrectly implies that the reliability is dependent on the memory of the interviewer rather than their skills and motivation.
