b) It is a Academic, peer-reviewed research article.
c) Step 1: The first step I took in determining was, if it is written by the expert in the field which it was and the following says that:
Step 2: The next thing I looked for if It had in text citation and it was present as well.
Step 3: I then looked for bibliography.
Step 4: The article contained methods and results section which stated the fact that the actual experiment was performed making it a research article.
Step 5: In order to look for if it was a peer reviewed article I checked for revision date but it was not there so I checked the acknowledgement section which clearly thanked the anonymous reviewer in the field making it altogether a academic peer-reviewed research article.
