which question would form the best basis for a quality research paper?
a. is maintaining the environment a good thing or a bad thing?
b. what is the most polluted city in the united states?
c. how much pollution is over new york city?
d. what impact does air pollution in cities have on respiratory health?

Explanation:

A quality research paper question should be complex and allow for in - depth exploration. Option A is too simplistic (good or bad). Option B is a simple fact - finding question. Option C is also a rather narrow, data - gathering question. Option D, however, is a complex question that can lead to extensive research, analysis of data (on air pollution levels and respiratory health metrics), and exploration of relationships, making it the best basis for a quality research paper.

Answer:

D. What impact does air pollution in cities have on respiratory health?
