Answer 1

Correct option is (a) Clinical trials are not supervised well

For explanation I would say: Clinical trials are always closely supervised by regulatory authorities. All studies that involve a medical or therapeutic intervention on patients must be approved by a supervising ethics committee and after that permission is granted to run the trial further. To be ethical, researchers must obtain the full and informed consent of participating human subjects and the subjects must know what can be the consequences.
