Which statement about the content of a good research report prepared by a research analyst is most appropriate?

A good research report states facts and opinions clearly, distinguishes between them, and explains the basis and assumptions behind the recommendation. It must not guarantee returns or present opinion as fact, since transparency and fairness to the reader are core duties of a research analyst.
