ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: A
A record review would be categorized as risking no harm to the subject.
The risk of permanent damage might occur in biomedical studies.
Temporary discomfort is described as similar to what the subject would encounter in his or her daily life and is temporary.
“Unusual levels of temporary discomfort” means that the subjects will experience some discomfort both during the study and after their participation in the study is over.
