Which of these gives the best indication that a health service is based on pseudoscience? (apex)

### Understanding Indicators of Pseudoscience in Health Services

#### Question 5 of 5

**Which of these gives the best indication that a health service is based on pseudoscience?**

*A multiple-choice question designed to evaluate the recognition of pseudoscientific indicators within health services.*

**Options:**

- **A.** The service is not controversial and is supervised by medical professionals.
- **B.** The service is inexpensive, is based on research, and has been around for a long time.
- **C.** The service has been extensively researched, has a high success rate, and is expensive.
- **D.** The service has not been researched and is expensive.

**Explanation:**

The question provides four different statements about a health service. The goal is to determine which statement most strongly indicates that the service might be based on pseudoscience. Each option presents a different characteristic of a health service:

- **Option A** implies credibility through lack of controversy and medical supervision.
- **Option B** suggests affordability, research basis, and longevity.
- **Option C** indicates extensive research, high success, and high cost.
- **Option D** points out a lack of research despite being expensive, which can be a red flag for pseudoscientific practices as legitimate treatments are typically backed by thorough research before being marketed, especially at high prices.
