b. medical terms related to smallpox that readers may not know

Explanation:

To determine the most appropriate example to paraphrase, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A victim's personal experience statement is better quoted to retain authenticity.
• Option B: Medical terms should be defined, not paraphrased, for clarity.
• Option C: A memorable quote from a researcher is best kept as a quote for its impact.
• Option D: Events leading to a discovery (like Jenner's smallpox vaccine) are a narrative of facts/sequence, which is suitable for paraphrasing to rephrase the information in one's own words without losing meaning.

Answer:

D. Events that led to Edward Jenner’s discovery of the smallpox vaccine
