Answer

Brief Explanations:

The ad's claim is based on a study by the company selling the supplement. When a claim is tested only by the seller, there's a conflict of interest as the company has an incentive to show positive results, so such claims are likely false. The other options: A is about FDA evaluation (the ad says claims not evaluated, but the concern here is about self - testing), B is about multiple companies (not the case here), C is about showing results (the issue is who tested, not showing).

Answer:

D. Claims that are tested only by the company selling the supplement are probably false.
