Explanation:

To determine if VR technology is safe, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Trying a VR - based video game would show the experience of VR but not directly address safety (like health impacts).
• Option B: Reading the “About Us” section on Fove’s website is likely to provide information about the company, its products, and potentially safety - related details about their VR eye - tracking technology as a company would want to present relevant information about their product's safety for users.
• Option C: Looking at pictures of Fove’s offices in Japan has nothing to do with the safety of VR technology.
• Option D: Reading an article by a doctor might give some health - related insights, but it may not be specific to Fove's VR technology and might be more general or anecdotal.

Answer:

B. Reading the "About Us" section on Fove's website
