Explanation:

To determine what makes a source unreliable, we analyze each option:

• Typos (first option) are errors in writing but don't necessarily mean the factual content is wrong.
• An inaccurate fact (second option) would undermine reliability, but let's check others.
• Non - experts disagreeing (third option) doesn't make the source unreliable as experts' opinions matter more for factual accuracy.
• If only non - experts corroborate the data (fourth option), since non - experts may not have the necessary knowledge to validate the data, this makes the source unreliable. Because for a source to be reliable, it should be supported by experts in the field or have evidence from credible, knowledgeable sources. Non - experts may not understand the subject matter deeply enough to provide valid corroboration.

Answer:

D. Only non - experts corroborate the data in an article. (Assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D in order. If the original options have different labels, adjust accordingly. The key is the option "Only non - experts corroborate the data in an article.")
