Explanation:

To determine the unethical practice, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Disclosing safety risks is ethical as it informs participants.
• Option B: Informing about alternatives is ethical for informed consent.
• Option C: Paying without disclosing side effects/risks violates informed consent, as participants can't make a fully informed decision.
• Option D: Using a Case Report Form (CRF) for data documentation is a standard, ethical practice.

C. Paying a subject to participate in a study without informing them of side effects and safety risks
