read through the blog’s testimonials to determine if people believe the website’s content to be true

Explanation:

To determine if a resource is unbiased, we need to check for potential bias or prejudice in its content. Sharing on social media (first option) measures engagement, not bias. Trusting it due to visuals (second option) is flawed as visuals don't guarantee objectivity. Reading testimonials (fourth option) assesses credibility, not bias. Investigating if the website favors one side or has prejudice (third option) directly addresses checking for bias.

Answer:

C. Investigate the website to determine if it favors one side of the issue or includes prejudice that might affect the content.
