Explanation:

A strong research question for an informative essay should go beyond common knowledge (not appeal to it), not have a simple "yes" or "no" answer (as that limits discussion), and inspire curiosity while being discussable in multiple paragraphs. The fourth option matches these criteria: it goes beyond common knowledge, inspires curiosity, and can be discussed in several paragraphs.

The fourth option (the right - most box): A strong research question goes beyond common knowledge, inspires curiosity, and can be discussed in several paragraphs.
